TODAY’S MESSAGE: 

“Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;” 1 Timothy‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Pastor’s INSIGHT:

Friends, 

Paul identifies himself as an apostle, a term meaning "one who is sent." This title affirms his authority and mission, which were directly given by Christ. Paul's apostleship is unique as he was not one of the original twelve disciples but was called by Jesus on the road to Damascus.

Brothers and Sisters,

Paul emphasizes that his apostleship is not self-appointed but is by the command of God. This highlights the divine authority and initiative behind his mission.

‭‭Church,

Christ Jesus, is described as "our hope," pointing to the promise of eternal life and the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan. This hope is not wishful thinking but a confident expectation based on the resurrection of Jesus, it’s our assurance of salvation and future glory.

Disciples,

Understanding our own calling and purpose, as Paul did, is crucial for living a life that honors God. As believers we are encouraged to seek and fulfill our purpose, that road that God prepared for us. The relationship between Paul and Timothy highlights the importance of mentorship in our journey of faith. Mature believers should invest in the spiritual growth of others, disciplining them as they grow and mature in their faith.
