Certainly any Bible book study would be appropriate to begin on Easter Sunday morning since all of the Scriptures point to Christ and His redemptive work.  But there is a sweetness to beginning Philippians on this particular Sunday morning.  I exhort you to be there and participate.  You’ll be blessed by what some call the “letter of joy.”  What you find clearly is that joy is not found in a mystical, spiritual pursuit.  Rather, joy is realized in the joyful living out of the gospel through the grace-enabled effort of the believer.

Besides, Lydia was the first convert in the church, and I like that name!
