The power of example

Timothy and Epaphroditus. 2 names, 2 different kind of people. But both commended as examples by Paul to us, encouraging us to live for Christ, and to serve one another. (Phil. 2:19-30)

Peter Sholl, via the Mexican president Avila Camacho, reminds us that the Apostle Paul himself too is commended to us. In him, we see the value of personal example.

One more contemporary example are the Littles. Libby Little reflects on suffering for the sake of the kingdom, an article made more poignant by the fact that her husband, Tom was murdered shortly afterwards, along with 9 others, in Afghanistan.

May we, like them, keep on striving for Christ and his kingdom.
