The Philippians knew that it was hard to follow Jesus’ example…remember Philippi is a happening city…formerly a Greek centre…now under Roman control and domination…socially, culturally, religiously. Paul knew his readers would be prone to say: “Paul, this Christian life is hard. It’s impossible to follow Christ’s example.” so Paul sends to them…two real guys…to help them know what it looks like in real life!
To know what Submitted…Obedient…Following Jesus looks like!
