The Apostle Paul was in a Roman prison in the early 60’s AD for 2-3 years. While there, Paul didn’t just sit around doing nothing. He redeemed the time. Paul’s Roman imprisonment produced three great letters to the churches of Ephesus, Colossae, and Philippi, as well as a personal letter to his friend Philemon. Some of the most encouraging words in the Bible were written by Paul during this prison time. The attitude of Paul as he wrote from prison, along with the attitude he conveyed in the letters, is something we can learn a lot from, as these 4 letters were written for Them (those he was writing to) and Us.
