The desire for legacy is universal; we all want our lives to matter, to leave a mark that outlasts us. But our culture often pushes us toward building our own brand, maximizing comfort, and seeking recognition. Epaphroditus’ story challenges this narrative. He didn’t live to be known—he lived to be faithful. His legacy is not in fame or achievement, but in his Christ-like posture of humility, obedience, and self-giving love. Paul urges us to see in Epaphroditus a concrete example of what it means to adopt the mindset of Christ: to risk more, to reflect more, and to do more things that will live on beyond us.
