Fellowship in the Life of Christ Paul’s Letter to the Philippians

“The Interests of Christ -- Genuine Concern for Others’ Welfare” I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be cheered by news of you. For I have no one like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare. For they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.

“The Interests of Christ -- Genuine Concern for Others’ Welfare” But you know Timothy's proven worth, how as a son with a father he has served with me in the gospel. I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me, and I trust in the Lord that shortly I myself will come also.

“The Interests of Christ -- Genuine Concern for Others’ Welfare” I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need, for he has been longing for you all and has been distressed because you heard that he was ill.

“The Interests of Christ -- Genuine Concern for Others’ Welfare” Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. I am the more eager to send him, therefore, that you may rejoice at seeing him again, and that I may be less anxious.

“The Interests of Christ -- Genuine Concern for Others’ Welfare” So receive him in the Lord with all joy, and honor such men, for he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was lacking in your service to me. (Philippians 2:19-30 ESV)

“The Interests of Christ -- Genuine Concern for Others’ Welfare”  Timothy I hope to send him I have no one like him Like a son to a father, he served me (vv 19-14)

“The Interests of Christ -- Genuine Concern for Others’ Welfare”  Epaphroditus It is necessary to send him My brother – Your minister He has been longing for you all He nearly died for the work of Christ (vv.25-30)

Imaging Christ Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Philippians 2:3
