Philippians 1:7-8

During Paul's 3 days of blindness:

• His Pharisaic crust was broken
• His independence had melted
• He recognized and braced the true Lord

One of the most touching paragraphs written by Paul in the NT
Instead of seeing cell walls - he saw the Philippian disciples needs, struggles, and victories
Paul had to have come to know them all
He did not just start the church there, he began a family

He was committed to all of them - he was a true shepherd:

• He called his own sheep by name - John 10:3
• He laid down his life for them - John 10:11
• He knew his sheep - John 10:14

Paul turned from persecutor to nurturer
We too can long for people with the affection of Christ but we must have people in our hearts
Key Phrase: Paul did not just start the church in Philippi, he began a family
