In the name of God- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Amen.
What
will be your legacy? In the final chapter of the pastoral epistle known as 2
Timothy, St. Paul writes “through me the message might be fully proclaimed.”
As I reflected on our readings for today, that one line jumped out at me as I
wondered, “what message am I proclaiming?” When we began hearing from the letters
of 1 & 2 Timothy a few weeks ago, I mentioned that these letter were
written to churches that were already established and were meant to encourage
the believers, keeping them on the right track. 2 Timothy is a letter about
community and passing the faith along to future believers and generations. And
so the sort of message that was being proclaimed was of great importance to
Paul and his audience.
