Paul is about to die. Imprisoned in Rome as an enemy of the state, the Apostle knows that his time on earth is short. He longs to see Timothy again and arranges for him to join him in Rome. Yet Paul does not despair. His focus is on the “promise of life in Christ Jesus”. He will use many of his “last words,” recorded for us in 2 Timothy, to encourage Timothy and speak grace into his life. Today’s message invites us to do the same: to be the means through which God’s Word overflows from us and pours into others.
