Devotional: 2 Timothy 1:8-14

Today’s passage: 2 Timothy 1:8-14

Helpful thoughts:

  • Go ahead and read verse 7 as well to step back into the context.  It will help you understand these verses better.
  • Paul is simultaneously suffering and claiming victory.  Suffering for Jesus is not defeat.
  • The reason Paul is not ashamed in prison, in chains, awaiting execution…is because his confidence was not rooted in his own self.  Paul’s self-esteem did not help him persevere.  Paul’s esteem of Jesus Christ made him confident both to proclaim the gospel to the lost and to die for it.

Questions to consider:

  1. As our culture continues to move away from the Lord, what does it need to hear and believe?
  2. Who has God commanded to live as light in a dark world and to tell them about Jesus?
  3. Where are we to find the strength and confidence we need to obey King Jesus in the face of opposition?
