In this booklet compiled from Life-study of Philippians, Witness Lee considers the matter of magnifying Christ by living Him (Phil. 1:19-21). In Philippians 1:20 the apostle Paul says, “According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be put to shame, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death.” In Paul’s bodily sufferings, Christ was magnified, exalted, and extolled. His sufferings afforded him opportunity to express Christ in His unlimited greatness. Philippians is concerned with the experience of Christ. To magnify Christ under any circumstances is to experience Him with the topmost enjoyment.
