Sharing Others’ Trouble ~ Christ’s Strengthening in Every Circumstance Philippians 4:10-19

“Sharing Others’ Trouble ~ Christ’s Strengthening in Every Circumstance” I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.

“Sharing Others’ Trouble ~ Christ’s Strengthening in Every Circumstance” I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

“Sharing Others’ Trouble ~ Christ’s Strengthening in Every Circumstance” Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble. And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving, except you only.

“Sharing Others’ Trouble ~ Christ’s Strengthening in Every Circumstance” Even in Thessalonica you sent me help for my needs once and again. Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit. I have received full payment, and more.

“Sharing Others’ Trouble” I am well supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:10-19 ESV)

“Sharing Others’ Trouble” The Philippians revived their concern for Paul (vv ) Paul rejoiced greatly So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. (Galatians 6:10)

“Sharing Others’ Trouble” The Philippians knew Paul’s hardships and struggles (vv ) Paul learned the secret of contentment In Christ, I am enabled to do His will

“Sharing Others’ Trouble” The Philippians entered into partnership with Paul (vv ) Paul was well supplied “Your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.” (Philippians 1:5)

Sharing in the Life of Christ "If we want to be Christians, we must have some share in Christ’s large-heartedness by acting with responsibility and in freedom when the hour of danger comes, and by showing a real sympathy that springs, not from fear, but from the liberating and redeeming love of Christ for all who suffer.

Sharing in the Life of Christ "Mere waiting and looking on is not Christian behavior. The Christian is called to sympathy and action, not in the first place by his own sufferings, but by the sufferings of his brethren, for whose sake Christ suffered." ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Sharing in the Life of Christ “My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19)
