The bottom line is that there are plenty of salesmen for Jesus today. But there are far too few free samples! When we are formed to be more like Christ, we become the free samples where people can taste and see that the Lord is good. The two men mentioned in this passage are not superstars, just faithful, regular guys who are the free samples of their day.

Paul talks about local heroes in this passage. It's an interesting study as Paul sheds a light on the people who are helping him with his efforts around the gospel.

If we are to see the Western world come back to Christ, it will begin by talking to God about people. Easy to say; hard to do. The power of sharing about Christ with others comes from prayer. And when you pray for people, you increasingly get a burden to talk to them about God.
