I’m currently walking through 2 Timothy in a men’s discipleship group, and we’re currently studying chapter two. 

In Paul’s letter to his beloved spiritual son, in the midst of persecutions without and fears within, he exhorts him very simply: “Remember Jesus Christ” (2 Tim. 2:8). 

He wants him to be strengthened by the grace that’s in Jesus and to faithfully carry out God’s calling on his life. And in the midst of timidity and fear about the suffering that comes with courageously standing with Christ and faithfully proclaiming his gospel, Paul says, “Remember Jesus.”

That’s what Dave and I want this content to be for you each week. 

In the midst of your work. In the midst of fatherhood and motherhood. In the midst of the busyness of life. Amidst joys and sorrows. Amidst happy seasons and heavy ones. When you’re sick and when you’re worried. When your overwhelmed with gratitude or simply overwhelmed, our hope is that through our preaching and through our shepherding, and now through this weekly content, we can help you to “remember Jesus”. 

He is risen from the dead. He is the offspring of David, the true king of his people. He is, as we saw Sunday, the completely sovereign Savior and your protective shepherd. He obeyed the Father perfectly and now, having given you the blessing of his obedience, he is praying for you. He stands ready to help you as you draw near through him to the Father in your time of need. 

Look up, dear saint. Remember Jesus. 

Your elder brother is the King of Kings, and he is for you!  

With prayer + joy, 

Ben
