Philippians 1:1 – What’s Your Title?

I thought it might be interesting to look at some key verses together from Philippians here on the TMC blog.  Check this out…

This letter is from Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus. It is written to all of God’s people in Philippi, who believe in Christ Jesus, and to the elders and deacons.  Philip. 1:1 (NLT)

Paul and his son in the Lord, Timothy, could have chosen any number of titles for themselves but they chose “slaves of Jesus Christ.”  This is most telling.  Paul was clearly an apostle and a man of great significance in the early church but on his business card he decided to put slave of Jesus.

People generally try to put forth the title that reflects their biggest accomplishment in life.  Paul saw his greatest accomplishment as being a servant of his great master and Lord.

The simple truth of the matter is that the greatest thing you’ve ever done (or will do) is connect with Jesus and, beyond that, the greatest thing you can continue to do is serve Him in whatever fashion He calls you to do so.

What’s you title?
