Paul's Gratitude
Philippians 4:10-20
But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me has flourished again; wherein you were also careful…


I. HE ACKNOWLEDGES THE GIFT — rejoicing in the spirit that prompted it; expressing his contentment and confidence in God; confessing the seasonable nature of the supply.

II. HE COMMENDS THE GIVERS for their special and repeated generosity; exemplification of the spirit of Christianity; acceptable sacrifice to God.

III. HE ASSURES THEM OF AN ABUNDANT RECOMPENSE. God is rich; will supply all their need; by Christ Jesus.

(J. Lyth, D. D.)
