That’s What Friends Are

by Alistair Begg

Philippians 2:19–30
 (ID: 2013)

While on house arrest in Rome, Paul was cared for by two friends, Timothy and Epaphroditus. These brothers in Christ displayed the characteristics that Christians should strive to emulate: marked by sensitivity, they were reliably available to serve the Lord by serving others with humility. Even apparently trivial deeds can have tremendous impact for the Gospel, teaches Alistair Begg as he encourages us to reaffirm our availability to Christ and His people.
