But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state. — Philippians 2:19
Paul now turns to the continuation of their growth. He was not naïve-he knew they would need help to continue running well.
He desired to send Timothy so he could know their state-their spiritual condition. Paul had a burden for this church, just as he did for the Thessalonians. A pastor’s heart is deeply concerned about the spiritual condition of God’s people.
Timothy and Epaphroditus would help strengthen and report on the church.
