Last words
"Paul’s last recorded words dealt not with what he had done in life and ministry but rather with how he viewed people. What makes it even more significant is that some of those words were about people who had disappointed him." ODB 08/09/27
2 Timothy 4:9-18
Those people include:
Demas, his fellow worker, who loved this world, has deserted Paul and has gone to Thessalonica.
Alexander the metalworker did him a great deal of harm
Those who deserted Paul when he was imprisoned.
"His last words were those of compassion and kindness instead of harshness and retaliation."
Dear Lord, may my last words are like Paul's. I should not boast about the work that I have done, but express gratitude for those who have done good to me and kindness to those who have harmed me. Amen.
