Descriptions of a Faithful Friend: "Your Messenger"
Faithful. This word is defined as "steadfast in affection or allegiance, loyal, constant, devoted."
Paul describes his faithful friend Epaphroditus in Philippians 2:25. He uses five terms to describe him. A brother. A fellow worker. A fellow soldier.
And today's description: your messenger!
Paul calls Epaphroditus in these verses "your messenger" (verse 25). The Philippian church sent him to encourage Paul with a gift. We don't know what the gift actually was but their message must have helped Paul feel encouraged in his prison trial.
How do you strengthen a friendship? Become a messenger!…
