INTERESTS OF CHRIST
Keywords 2:30
because he almost died for the work of Christ, risking his
life to make up for the help you could not give me.
1.
Timothy looked out for the interests of Christ (19-24)
Paul planned to send Timothy to visit them and
report to him how they were
managing.
Paul chose Timothy because he loved them, had no personal agenda
except the
interests of Jesus Christ, was a proven gospel worker, and became like
his own
spiritual son. Thank God for church leaders like Timothy who love God’s
people and
have only Jesus’ interests in mind when ministering to God’s people.
2.
Epaphroditus almost died for Christ (25-30)
Paul was sending his letter back with
Epaphroditus, who was sent by the
Philippians
to take their offering and to care for his needs in prison. Paul
recognized
Epaphroditus because he almost died for Christ and his work. We
should also
rejoice in and honor people like him for their life-giving sacrifice for
Christ.
Prayer Lord, help me to rejoice in
Christ-centered people who serve others and
your work
purely and sacrificially.
One Word Workers who sacrifice for the
interests of Christ
