"I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom" (2 Timothy 4:1).
Our study is from 2 Timothy 4:1-8, a passage read at my ordination service in 1979. Since Paul was passing the torch of ministry on to Timothy this is especially relevant for those in ministry. However it's also relevant to all who follow Christ since in a sense all are called to be in ministry (service) for Christ of some type. The passage
begins, "I
charge you".
This
translates a
Greek word in
the present
tense
indicating
that Timothy
is to
understand
what follows
as a
continuously
solemn charge.
In other
words, Timothy
is to keep
these words
"ringing in
his ears" and
so to must all
believers.
Paul is laying
a mandate upon
Timothy that
must be
obeyed, as if
Paul were the
commanding
general and
Timothy his
chief officer
of battle
operations. In
using this
verb Paul is
seeking
Timothy's
undivided
attention to
the matter at
hand. (Precept
commentary)
May
we all hear
God's solemn
charge to us
to a life of
service and
take it
seriously.
This charge is
"in
the presence
of God and of
Christ Jesus,
who is to
judge the
living and the
dead, and by
His appearing
and His
kingdom". Over
the next
several
messages we
will examine
the specifics
of this charge
and how it
applies to our
lives in 2024. Earlier this week we alluded to a Charles Wesley hymn today's title is based upon, "A Charge To Keep Have I". Let us all resolve to indeed keep this solemn charge! A charge to keep have I, a God to glorify, a never-dying soul to save, and fit it for the sky.
Be encouraged today, Hebrews 3:13 Stephen & Brooksyne Weber

 Yesterday we visited an expo hosted by Kleen-Rite, a wholesale distributor of car wash supplies. We have served this company as chaplains for many years. It's interesting to visit with the vendors and car wash owners as well as the employees we regularly see.
