One who seeks the interests of Christ(2011.10.11)
One who seeks the interests of Christ
Philippians 2:19~30 For everyone looks out for his own interest, not those of Jesus Christ. But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel. (21~22)
Hymn for scheduled worship: Korean/English Hymnal #216 Savior! Thy Dying Love Thou Gavest Me (#356 in previous version)
There are two types of believers – those who seek personal interests and those who seek the interests of Christ (Philippians 2:21). The majority seeks self-interest and personal benefits. They dislike any disadvantages while they enjoy being praised. Conversely, those who seek the interests of Christ suffer many losses and hardships. As people who possess the Gospel to do world evangelization, where must we fall?
1. The interests of Christ
We must know the interests of Christ. The book of Philippians is an epistle Paul sent to the Church of Philippi. The letter describes gratitude toward the church and its members for the offering and aid in his missions. With Paul’s absence, the Church of Philippi fell into great strife. Hence, Paul tells them to be one in the Lord and asks them why they are losing the essence of Christ through disputes. We must grasp the interests of Christ and His essence to be successful and receive answers.
2. One who seeks Christ’s interests
Paul introduced Timothy and Epaphroditus who sought Christ’s interests rather than their own. Timothy genuinely thought about the situation of the Church of Philippi and worked hard for the Gospel alongside Paul. Epaphroditus was a brother to Paul and supported Paul with necessities. He did not value his life for the work of Christ and provided for what Paul lacked. Those who seek the interests of Christ receive historic answers and meeting those individuals is the greatest answer of all.
3. One who follows self-interest
The large majority of people seek personal interests, so we must save them, and because the one who started a good work in me will carry it on to completion, we must not be quick to judge others. Discerning what is good and succeeding, we must receive blessings enough to consider those victories rubbish. Therefore, we must save those who seek their own interests and continue the ministry of changing them into those who seek the interests of Christ. Hold firmly on to this covenant.
- Jesus promised to grant us everything once we first seek His kingdom and His righteousness. Do I seek my personal interests first? Or do I seek the interests of Christ before anything else?
