Rekindling Your Spiritual Gift
Times had changed—significantly! During a previous house arrest in Rome, Paul enjoyed limited freedom and relative comfort. He was able to entertain guests and boldly proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ (Acts 28:30-31). At that time he fully expected to be acquitted (Philippians 1:19). In fact, early church tradition indicates that Paul was released from house arrest and carried on further missionary activity before being arrested a second time under Nero’s orders. This time Paul’s conditions were far from comfortable. He was now imprisoned in what was likely a damp, dark, disease ridden cell where he anticipated his martyrdom. Times had changed. However, the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ had not changed. Instead, the gospel was still changing lives. Paul, the veteran missionary of that gospel, wrote a second letter to his beloved protégé Timothy challenging him to remain strong in the faith even in the face of persecution. Second Timothy is, therefore, a book of passion and compassion from a mentor to a younger spiritual leader in the church. Its pages inspire God’s people today to serve Him as everyday missionaries. In the opening sentences of this personal epistle, Paul describes Timothy’s spiritual heritage and encourages him to fan into flame his spiritual gift. We serve Jesus Christ best when we serve with perpetually renewed passion.
