~.... ’ 7 I Commentsdwl On Creamed comments on the Sunday school lesson, Coprage in Christian Living, II Timothy 1:314, for Sunday, September 13. Paul in his second imprisonment at Rome, facing death, realized the place of courage and he comforted himself in believing Timothy a true disciple of Christ who woqld exemplify faith and courage necessary to carry on the Christian work. V. 3. "I thank God, Whom I serve from my forefathers and pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day.” One ought to be thankful for faithful friends as was Paul. Paul recognized a source of strength was in a noble spiritual ancestry. One prays for his true friends that they may he courageous and faithful. V. 4. “Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy.” In Paul’s, and Timothy's last parting there were tears; likely the thought of possible death of Paul in prison seized their minds. Let no one despise tears in sorrow for in them may be the sympathy which will bring comfort and’ a sense of joy. V. 5. "When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which flwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and am persuaded that in thee also,” Evidently Timothy became a Christian in early life and had no striking experience of conversion such as Paul had. Here is an ideal way of starting the Christian life whlhh Paul commends. V. 6. "Wherefore I put thee in remembrace that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of hands." Encouragement is needed to keep one at his best in the rightful use of his ability. It might help if the day of dedication be kept in mind. V.7. “For God hath not given us the Spirit of fear; but of power and of love, and of a sound mind.” Here are the great assets of a true Christian. Like other young men, Timothy was surrounded with all manner of evil, but with Christ he may have the courage to withstand all temptations. For in Christ, there is found the pow- ;

Jesus once said, “I oame not to send peace but a sword;” again he said, “AU they that take the . sword shall perish with the sword." The first statement had ! to do with the effect of the gospel in that it was revolutionary, disrupting many social relations, especially if they were not righteous. in the second declaration. Jesus showed Peter that his kingdom could not be established by physical force. In both cases righteousness was fundamental; we must proceed with the principle of righteousness which will be oppos- ' ed by workers of iniquity, a right- ! eousness that wins .by the spiritual force of Christ.

er of love; but bn his part -he must be mentally guided by Christian principles. V.B. “Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God.” Timothy was exhorted to be a good Christian witness, for as much good often comes from Christian witnessing as from sermons. He should be willing to endure sufferings for the sake of the gospel. V. 9. “Whq hath saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works,, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given Us in Christ Jesus before the world began.’’ This verse and the one following support the admonition “be not ashamed” with a stabalizing reference to the grandeur and permanence of God’s purpose which in eternity past contemplated our lives. The gift of grace»planned before the time of this world has now been manifest in saving us and calling us. V.ll. “Wherennto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles." Paul recalls his profound conversion on his way to Damascus and his experience as set apart\to preach to the Gentßes.) It is a good thing to keep in mind one’s Christian decision. _ V. 12. “For which cause 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 that which I have committed unto him.” To Paul there was no disappointment in his Christian faith. Here is a promise that steadies one’s faith and imparts courage to go forward even in the experience of death. That soul is safe that is committeed to God. Immortality is the soul’s greatest desire, and God never created a desire that could not be satisfied. V. 13. "Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and \lbve which is in Christ Jesus.” Sound words contain wholesome principles: V. 14. “That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.” The Holy Spirit should have the complete consecration of our faculties to serve his purpose. —Based on copyrighted outlines produced by the division of Christian education, national council of the Churches of Christ in the U. j S.
