For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. — Philippians 2:20
Timothy is presented as an example. He was likeminded with Paul. He shared the same philosophy-“For to me to live is Christ” (Philippians 1:21).
Timothy genuinely cared for their spiritual condition. This was not forced-it was natural. He desired God’s will, not his own.
Paul contrasts this with a common problem in ministry-many seek their own, not the things of Christ (Philippians 2:21). But Timothy was different. He was a man who desired to please the Lord and serve others.
