Day 18

Philippians 2:19-24

The drink offering being referred to here is an allusion to the practice among Jews of pouring out a small In today’s passage Paul holds Timothy up to the Philippians as another example of someone who is humble.

Why does Paul want to send Timothy to the Philippians?

According to Paul, how does Timothy display humility?

What does Paul’s expectation of the news he will receive back from Timothy about the Philippians show about Paul’s attitude towards this church?

Why do you think Paul tells the Philippians that he is confident in the Lord that he will come and visit them soon (v. 24)?

How are you going at putting off pride and being humble?
