A Brother in the Lord.

Chris.
A
brother in human works! This is a very necessary function in the Body of Christ
today. Sometimes we just think of a ‘’Brother’’ as a fellow True Believer but
in actual fact we have very little to do with that person. I wonder if that is
what the Lord Jesus intended brotherhood to be? Here we read of a brother in
human works, he was a practical help because he had a changed life, firstly
changed by knowing the Lord, secondly changed because he had learned servant-hood
for Apostle Paul.
