What does Christian joy look like? This is not always what the world may expect. Joy with Christian humility appears as a contradiction to the world. Philippians 2 demonstrates that in Jesus Christ, Christians need not fear opponents of the faith. However, in the pursuit of joy, Christians will suffer for Christ’s sake. Jesus demonstrated a path to joy and a standard for Christian unity that includes self-sacrificial humility. This study will take a close look at this “paradox” and the example of Jesus Christ.
