POURED OUT LIKE A DRINK OFFERING / PHILIPPIANS 2:17-18

(KJV) Philippians 2:17-18

Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all. ¹⁸ For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.

The Old Testament drink offering was often presented with special sacrifices or burnt offerings to God (Numbers 15:1-12; 28:7, 24). It was either poured over the sacrifice or onto the dry ground with no hope or desire of retrieving it or having anything left. Paul’s love and concern for the Philippians was so earnest that he was willing to give his life for them, as if it were an offering to God. 

1. Paul would not consider it a regret, but a joy and privilege, to make the ultimate personal sacrifice, if only it would deepen their faith in and love for Christ (2 Timothy 4:6).
2. If Paul had such sacrificial love for his spiritual children (those he led into a personal relationship with Christ), what sacrifice and suffering should we be willing to endure for the faith of our own children or those whom God has entrusted us to lead? In order to help our children to become as complete as possible in their relationship with the Lord, it may become necessary for us to pour out our lives as an offering to the Lord. As parents of spiritual leaders, we ought to be prepared to make such a sacrifice.
