2 Tim 4
Christ is coming.
In view of this, we must know our task and be faithful to do it.
Apostasy is also coming.
Indeed, it is here now.
Many professed Christians have no ear for the Word of God.
They prefer religious entertainment and sermons that tickle their ears, instead of cut their hearts.
Departure is also coming.
Paul the apostle saw his approaching death as the offering of sacrifice to God, the ending of a difficult race and the gaining of a glorious crown.
This is the victor's crown given to winners at the Greek Olympic games.
And help is coming.
The apostle Paul was greatly disappointed when the people he had ministered to turned away from him, and were ashamed of his bonds.
He asked Timothy to come as soon as possible, and to bring Mark with him.
But best of all – the Lord came to Paul and encouraged him.
No matter what people may do, Jesus will never leave you or forsake you.
