2nd Timothy 2:8-13
If you have your Bible, please turn to 2nd Timothy chapter 2. We’re in a series called “Famous Last Words,” because this is the last letter that Paul ever wrote. Tonight, we want to look at 2nd Timothy 2, verses 8 through 13, Paul says, “Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descendant of David, according to my gospel, for which I suffer hardship even to imprisonment as a criminal; but the Word of God is not imprisoned.” In The Amplified Version, “Remember Jesus Christ” is written this way: “Constantly keep in mind Jesus Christ.” Man, he would just constantly be on the forefront of your mind.

Exhortation number one: Remember that He is victorious. “Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descendant of David, according to my gospel.” I love that, “Remember Him, risen from the dead…” The only one who has ever risen from the dead, never to die again, is Jesus Christ. You know, Jesus raised some people from the dead. That little girl that He raised from the dead, she had only be ...
