Preposition

Most people consider the theme of Philippians to be joy. And it is, insofar as that goes. Paul uses joy, rejoice, or glad 18 times in this letter. But, he uses the word Jesus 22 times, as well as references to Christ, Lord, God, and Spirit. Philippians is about joy in Jesus; the key is in the preposition.
 
A preposition is a word that expresses a relationship. In this case, a “Christian” preposition is a word that expresses our most important relationship: our relationship with Jesus—and the joy we have as a result of that relationship. “Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord.” Philippians 3:1a.
