For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day (1 Timothy 1:12).

Second Timothy is our last letter from the venerable apostle Paul. From a Roman prison cell to his young friend and co-worker in the gospel of Jesus Christ, Paul encouraged a weak, timid, fearful Timothy. At the end of his earthly life, Paul was anything but ashamed of his ministry or the One for whom he ministered. A decade earlier he’d written of his experiences as a missionary being shipwrecked and imprisoned, beaten and stoned. He knew poverty, hunger, and insomnia (2 Corinthians 11:23-28).
