Our natural tendency is to be selfish. We all want our own things and we don't want to share. Pastor Ed tells us today that this is not a characteristic of Christ. When striving for the qualities of Christ, we must focus on selflessness. Epaphroditus was concerned over the church of Philippians, for he knew they were concerned about his health. Having almost died, Epaphroditus easily could have said “I well stay and rest” but instead, he went to the church to provide them comfort and let them know he was ok.
