I've been spending the last couple of weeks digging myself out of the hole I dug last semester. To do that has required me to spend much time contemplating the book of Philippians. Paul in this book lays out what it means to be a citizen of heaven. What does the Christian life look like?

He talks at length about imitating the example of Christ demonstrated in the Gospel. He pontificates ad nauseum about imitating people who imitate the example of Christ (namely Timothy, Epaphroditus, and himself). He describes for them a new way of approaching the world around them through the self-emptying example of Christ.
