Epaphroditus

Philippians 2:25-30

The strength of the ministry of the church lies in the strength of the men that lead her, so then the leaders that the Church should esteem are the ones willing to live, work, and die for Christ. We’ll see this exemplified in Paul’s short account of Epaphroditus.

In Philippians 2:25-30 Paul commends the man Epaphroditus to the Philippians, relating the dire circumstances around his honorable ministry to himself, and instructing them on how to treat him now that he has returned.
