As the apostle Paul neared the end of his life, he issued a solemn and simple charge to his apprentice Timothy: “Preach the Word.” Alistair Begg unpacks this exhortation and extends its challenge to us today. Do we believe what Scripture tells us, and are we prepared to affirm it in a collapsing culture and a confused church? We may find that it is often uncomfortable to proclaim the truth—but by God’s grace, it will always be profitable.
1hI charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, iwho is to judge the living and the dead, and by jhis appearing and his kingdom: 2preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; kreprove, rebuke, and lexhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3mFor the time is coming when people will not endure nsound1 teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4and owill turn away from listening to the truth and pwander off into myths. 5As for you, qalways be sober-minded, rendure suffering, do the work of san evangelist, tfulfill your ministry.
6For uI am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my vdeparture has come. 7wI have fought the good fight, xI have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8Henceforth there is ylaid up for me zthe crown of righteousness, which the Lord, athe righteous judge, will award to me on bthat day, and not only to me but also to all cwho have loved his appearing.
