Approaching end of 2007,as I shared this morning among colleagues,I picked up three persons in Philippians. (Phil2:19-30)
Paul-- The Founder of the Philippian church ----a model of humility
Timothy--The one who treated Paul as father---- a model of harmony
Epaphroditus-- The one sent to serve for Paul'use ---a model of usefulness
Paul is humble in two aspects :
Not getting own merits when he said willingly to be pured out like a drink offering
Having a simple and glad life among the disciples.
Timothy is a life of harmony in three aspects:
Single-mindedness in serving Paul
Not selfish and care for others
Freely giving his life to serve other's interests
Epaphroditus is a life of usefulness
Functioning among the co-working team
Faithfulness in being sent and attain his mission
Being sacrificial and not saving his own life in service
May our life be always glorifying God in being humble,harmonious and useful!
