Paul’s letter to the church in Philippi does not open with a statement of defense of his apostleship. This letter is from a father to a son. As Paul wrote to the Corinthians, “Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel”. The Philippians loved Paul and embraced his apostolic authority. Furthermore, the church in Philippi was partakers with Paul in sharing the gospel. Philippians is a missionary thank-you letter in which the missionary reports on his work’s progress and continues to unveil the mystery of sonship.
