Pauls Victorious Life 2 Timothy 4 6 8

Paul’s Victorious Life 2 Timothy 4: 6 -8

He Looked Around (2 Tim 4: 6) n “For I am already being poured out (kjv – am ready to be offered) as a drink offering” n Spendomai – to pour out as a libation, to devote (one’s life or blood, as a sacrifice) (“spend”): n Paul lived as Jesus lived (Phil 2: 7 -8; John 10: 1718)

He Looked Around (2 Tim 4: 6) n “The time of my departure is at hand. ” n Analusis – a loosing up or off (committed to end) n “To hoist an anchor & set sail” n “To take down a tent” (2 Cor 5: 1) n “The loosing of a prisoner” n “The unyoking of an ox”

He Looked Back (2 Tim 4: 7) n “I have fought the good fight – Paul was enlisted in a good battle (1 Tim 6: 12; Eph 6: 10 -18). n … finished the race – Paul’s race wasn’t over ‘till his death (Acts 20: 24; Heb 12: 1; 2 Tim 2: 5). n … kept the faith” – Paul was a good steward of the gospel (2 Tim 1: 13 -14; Lk 12: 42 -44, 35 -36).

He Looked Ahead (2 Tim 4: 8) n “Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, & not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing. ” n Stephanos – a victory crown: imperishable (1 Pet 5: 4; 1 Cor 9: 24 -27). n Given by “the Righteous Judge” (1 Jn 4: 17 -19) n Shared “with all” who welcome Jesus’ return (Phil 4: 1; 1 Thess 2: 19).

Paul won a great Victory! Will we?
