God Frees and Redeems Lest We Forget Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5)
2 Timothy 2:8-13 The Voice(Paul has mentored no one more privately and successfully than Timothy. Now he charges Timothy to pass the faith along to the next generation. Training leaders is priority one.) 8 Remember Jesus the Anointed, raised from the dead, descended from David's royal line. This is the crux of my good news! 9 This is why I suffer and why I am bound and chained like a lawbreaker. But God's word is not in chains! 10 That's why I endure everything for the sake of God's chosen: so that they might experience salvation with lasting, eternal glory through Jesus the Anointed, our Liberating King.11 Here's a statement you can trust: If we died with Him, we will live with Him. 12 If we remain with Him, we will reign alongside Him. If we deny Him, we will be denied by Him. 13 If we are unfaithful, He remains faithful, For He is not able to deny Himself. For ReflectionPaul instructs those who will teach. He emphasizes the importance of linking this new Jesus Movement to the history of Israel. Paul also says that the central element of the good news is that the Gospel will free you from the bonds of one's corporeal life. Paul lists trustworthy talking points in verses 11-13. PrayPray and let the Holy Spirit guide your life. Pray live with the risen Christ. Pray and reign alongside Christ. Pray and remain faithful. Pray and trust in God, who will trust in you.
