Advancing In There Own Interests

Philippians 2:18-21

"And you also in like manner be glad andcongratulate me on [my share in] it.

But I hope and trust in the Lord Jesus soon to send Timothy to you, so that I may also be encouraged and cheered by learning news of you.

For I have no one like him [no one of so kindred a spirit] who will be so genuinely interested in your welfare and devoted to your interests.

For the others all seek [to advance] their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ (the Messiah)."

Did Saint Paul, have a bad hair day? 

He is kept in an apartment prison, only those who value his faith and teachings in Jesus Christ, A Jewish Man, sent by God, would come and fellowship. The Father of Jesus, Who Said; "This Is My Beloved Son..." To those who heard it, didn't understand what they heard... To those who saw the signs, wonders, and miracles done by Him and His disciples, still didn't understand it.

Saint Paul was feeling the need for "Like Minded Spirits," to fellowship with.. That have Jesus on their minds, His Kingdom in them to Advance, and lift Jesus High.... Timothy was his man...
