  • A Movie Worth Remembering

    What it takes to get there
    How you prepare
    How you feel when it ends
    All that is left to do

    A Life Worth Remembering

    ​
    ​
    2 Timothy 4:1–8 ESV
    1 I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. 5 As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. 6 For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.

    A Life Worth Remembering

    A Charge

    2 Timothy 4:1–2 ESV
    1 I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.
    ​

    A Warning

    2 Timothy 4:3–4 ESV
    3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.
    ​

    A Commission

    2 Timothy 4:5 ESV
    5 As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
    ​

    An Model

    2 Timothy 4:6–7 ESV
    6 For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
    ​
    ​

    As we lay 2024 to rest . . .

    ​

    Were you poured out like a drink offering?

    Did you give all that are to be an example of Jesus to others?

    ​

    Did you fight the good fight?

    Did you pursue righteousness and victory over sin and evil?

    ​

    Did you finish the race?

    Did you finish what you aimed at in 2024?

    ​

    Have you kept the faith?

    Through the ups and downs and struggles of this life did you remain devoted to Christ?

    ​
    As the credits roll on 2024 and God is your audience. Notice how he is applauding you. Notice that the influence of what you did in His name continues to make a difference in lives that He desired to touch.
    ​

    A Reward

    2 Timothy 4:8 ESV
    8 Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.
    ​
    This life that we describe is the life that has loved His appearing.
