Paul and Timothy, bond-servants of Christ Jesus.
– Philippians 1:1
But you know of [Timothy’s] proven worth, that he served with me in the furtherance of the gospel like a child serving his father.
– Philippians 2:22
The father-child relationship can lead to an over-appreciation of a spiritual father, which can lead to the development of factions, divisions, or sects among the believers (1 Cor. 1:12–13). However, taking the same stand together as bond-servants of Jesus Christ can save us from this.
Adapted from Philippians: “That I May Gain Christ,”
by Titus Chu, page 161.
Tomorrow: “Serving Like a Child with a Father in the Gospel” (14)
