Passage: 2 Timothy 4:1-22
Paul revealed that he was about to die in order to further impress upon Timothy the importance of remaining faithful to the Lord. He told him, “For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith…” (2 Timothy 4:6–7.)
Paul’s testimony provided an additional motivation that spurred Timothy to continued obedience in the gospel. Just as Paul had passed the torch of ministry on to Timothy, he instructed Timothy to also "instruct others." And we who follow today, are called to multiply in faithful endurance…to the end.
