“ Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:” —-Philippians 1:1 (KJV) Humbleness It’s interesting to note how Paul saw himself, as well as his companion Timothy, as servants of Christ even though they were great early Christian leaders. Reading the letter of Philippians it is easy to see why. Later in the letter Paul writes about how Jesus gave up the privileges of Heaven to come to Earth and die for our sins. It’s almost unimaginable that someone would die for another, especially after they committed a multitude of transgressions against the one doing the sacrifice. No matter our position in the Church, a Christian organization, and life in general, we should always walk with the attitude of a humble servant to the one who died for our sins and rose again on the third day. Only through Jesus are we made righteous and reconciled to God. Otherwise, we’re doomed to the Lake of Fire
Spreading the promise of eternal life by conveying the gospel of Jesus Christ who died for our sins and rose again on the third day.
