Paul and Timothy Acts 16:1-5;2 Tim. 2:1-2;2 Tim. 3:10-12Paul took Timothy under his care to develop and grow him. Timothy was the young disciple who was destined to become one of the great servants of the early church, the one to whom the Lord had Paul write two of the great letters of the New Testament 1 and 2 Timothy.It takes strength to teach the Word of God. We must dig out of the rich mines of Scripture the “gold, silver, precious stones” that are hidden there.This strength can only come from God’s grace. The secret of Paul’s great ministry was the grace of God.a strong teacher will not commit the truth to an unfaithful person. The strong teacher will look for faithful people and commit the truth to them.Paul was constantly persecuted, attacked time and again. But the Lord delivered him. Paul never failed to witness for Christ; therefore, Christ never failed to deliver Paul. God is love, but He is also just and demands righteousness.
