We are not quite done with our series yet, but today in 2 Timothy 4.6-13 as we near the end of Paul’s Last Letter– the Apostle reminds Pastor Timothy of his own personal readiness to complete the course the Lord had laid out for him. His words are extremely heartfelt and transparent. And then he explains his continued current troubles and those involved. The end of this book will be varied and practical. Personally, I find it touching - and hope you will too. (PJ)

2 Timothy 4.8 Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.

“The man who spent his life serving Christ, was now preparing to give the last of it.”
