Welcome

"So come lose your life for a carpenter's son
For a madman who died for a dream
And you'll have the faith His first followers had
And you'll feel the weight of the beam"--Michael Card

Philippians 2:19-30 Living Epistles

It might not seem like there is much practical or theological content in this passage in Philippians 2, but there is more than meets the eye. At this point in the letter Paul is giving narrative and news and talking about his travel plans. So it is true there is not as much depth here as in other parts of the letter and that is why we covered so many verses in this one lesson, but there is still solid meat here to be digested.



Here Paul talks about Timothy and Epaphroditus and while doing so reveals some things about himself as well. What we see when we look closely is that Timothy and Epaphroditus are both living examples of what Paul has been encouraging the Philippians to be. They are the embodiment of Paul's teaching. Their lives reflect what Paul wants the Philippians to be.
