As we have been working through this letter to the Philippians we have seen that Paul stresses this idea of humility and unity to the church. We saw this first when Paul told us about unity in chapter 1 of vs 27. Then again in Ch 2 vs 2. Then we were given the great example of humility by showing us what Christ did for us 2:3-8. The last couple of weeks we looked at how we are to allow that humility and unity to be at work in our life as we are working out our salvation without grumbling or disputing. By doing so we will be blameless, without blemish shinning as lights in this twists and crooked generation.
That brings us up to where we are going to looking at this next portion of Scripture Ch 2 vs 17-30. We are given 3 examples of humility and sacrifice in Paul, Timothy and Epaphroditus. What do we learn from these three men? How does their lives help us understand how we should be serving one another in humility and unity?
