- Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. The book of 2nd
- 00:18
- Timothy, well like the first one, this is also written by Paul the
- 00:23
- Apostle. And this was his second imprisonment. Now he wrote 1st
- 00:29
- Timothy and Titus under the first imprisonment where he had a little bit more freedom. This is the second imprisonment where he had less.
- 00:36
- In fact, it is likely that he may have known this could be, and we believe it was, the last letter he ever wrote.
- 00:45
- You can look in 2nd Timothy 4, 6 -8 and you see that he'll say he's being poured out.
- 00:51
- It seems that he knows he is not going to be released from this imprisonment.
- 00:56
- And therefore, this is his last letter to his son in the faith,
- 01:03
- Timothy, trying to encourage him as he shepherds the flock in Ephesus.
- 01:09
- And he is giving Timothy his final words. And that makes it important if he does know what his final words are, that these could be his last words and he's writing to encourage
- 01:20
- Timothy and he's going to talk to him about the marks of being a good workman.
- 01:26
- He's going to talk about the faithfulness of ministry and making sure that he's faithful to the preaching of the message, to be sound in his theology, in his doctrine.
- 01:38
- And so this is Paul's final letter, his last words to his son in the faith, and his biggest concern is that Timothy would be sound in his theology and faithful in all things.
