The Pastorals (1 and 2 Timothy, Titus)

Image is everything!   If that seems an inappropriate mission statement for a Christian Bible study course, it’s only because we are considering image consciousness from the wrong direction! Taking the view from heaven rather than earth, the Creator has an ancient and undistracted concern for His image – in mortals!  This is really good news. Just think: The LORD is righteous in all His ways and kind to all He has made. He is slow to anger. Abounding in steadfast love, He never lies, is utterly constant, unchanging – and never breaks a promise. His thoughts and ways are so much higher than ours that we need to see by His light – and in Him there is no darkness whatsoever. Imagine life on earth if mortals were… like Him!

Jesus prayed nothing less for His followers. Asking the Father NOT to take us out of the world, but to empower us for holiness in the teeth of evil opposition, He cried “Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.” (John 17:17) Our God’s undeviating purpose then, is to make our every life experience mould us into the likeness of His Son. (Rom 8:28-29)

No wonder then that the veteran apostle Paul, elderly, anticipating his departure from this life, but still ablaze with missionary zeal, should be concerned to protect the continuity and doctrinal integrity of the young churches. Timothy and Titus he charged and instructed to deal with the ‘truth twisters’ who threatened to make the saints reflect the world rather than the Master. Join us for this module as we seek to grasp Paul’s end-of-life clarity!
