Phil 1:12-14

12 And I want you to know, dear brothers and sisters,
that everything that has happened to me here has helped to spread the Good News.
13 For everyone here, including all the soldiers in the palace guard,
knows that I am in chains because of Christ.
14 And because of my imprisonment, many of the Christians here have gained confidence
and become more bold in telling others about Christ.
(NLT)

Paul wanted the Philippians to rejoice with him in the spreading of the gospel of Jesus Christ. As Paul had shared Christ with them he wanted them to know he was still sharing Christ even in his chains. He wanted to encourage the Philippians to become bold in telling others about Christ by telling them about how the Christians in Rome were gaining confidence and boldness in sharing Christ.
Do you get excited when you hear of others sharing Christ or witnessing to others? If others are sharing Christ, if others are going to the mission field to witness in a foreign land should we too be witnessing to others? Yes we should! Some of us are not called to go to a foreign land but we are all called to share Christ right where we are. Jesus said to make disciples. He commanded all of us to make disciples, not some of us but all of us. Luke 10:2 "The harvest is so great, but the workers are so few. Pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest, and ask him to send out more workers for his fields. (NLT) Sharing Jesus Christ is not something for the few but it is for all of us to be doing. Go and share Christ, so that others will hear and receive Christ and God our Father will be glorified.

Grace and peace to your from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ
