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
This father-child relationship is not a matter of formal position but a relationship in life. As children, we should credit our fathers for our growth, spiritual understanding, equipping, and the development of our ability to serve in the church life.
Adapted from Philippians: “That I May Gain Christ,”
by Titus Chu, page 160.
