Sunday marked the end of our four week series focused on 2nd Timothy. This week we see Paul's conclusion to this letter ... A letter of dubious provenance to be sure, but at the same time a beautiful summation of Paul's life in ministry.
Does it cheapen it if this letter was written by a student of Paul rather than Paul himself? I don't think it does, actually. If it was written by a student in Paul's voice, that might actually magnify it's impact in my eyes.
Wouldn't we all love to have lived the Christian life to such an extent that someone would write for us an obituary like this one?
Paul told his story, he poured and poured into God's children. That is our closing challenge from 2nd Timothy.
