2 Timothy
Author
Paul
Intended Audience
His protege Timothy
Theme
This is Paul’s second letter to Timothy. This one was written from prison and the tone is a little different from the first. At this time, Paul was feeling deserted by the very people in the church Timothy was pastoring.
So he writes this letter to Timothy.
And it’s the last thing he ever writes.
The letter has the feel of “final words.” Paul doesn’t feel like he will ever get out of prison …so he takes this time to do what? Complain about being deserted? No, instead he takes this opportunity to encourage Timothy, knowing this will also encourage the church. The very church that has turned their backs on him. 2 Timothy is a testimony to Paul’s character.
He also asks Timothy to come visit him one more time, bringing with him a warm coat and some books.
Random Thoughts
This is one of those books that deserves a straight-through reading. Sit down, remembering that Paul wrote it in prison to Timothy pastoring a church in a difficult situation. Read it front to back.
