You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra—which persecutions I endured; yet from them all the Lord rescued me. Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. – 2 Timothy 3:10-15 (ESV)
Paul’s charge to Timothy shares that those who live for Christ wild be persecuted, criticized, and misunderstood. We must never stop seeing the world as a mission field and do all that God has asked of us to spread the Gospel. Be confident, love others, and act in urgency! Today could be your last day – spend it sharing Jesus with those around you and supporting those God has sent around the world!
