Philippians 1:13
so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard, and to all the rest, that my imprisonment is for Christ
Everyone there knows that Paul is imprisoned for Christ! When asked why he is there he doesn't just say its some sort of religious dispute, or talk about what he was falsely accused of. We know from his various defenses in Acts that he uses the opportunity to tell his story and preach the gospel. Does everyone around me know that when am I suffering, I am holding onto Jesus? Does everyone around me know that when something goes well, I am thankful to Jesus? Does my life, my actions, words and attitudes, make more of Jesus than of me?
