رسالۀ دوم پولُس رسول به تیموتاوس

فصل چهارم

۱در پیشگاه خدا و در حضور مسیح عیسی که بر زندگان و مردگان داوری خواهد کرد و به خاطر ظهور و پادشاهی او تو را وظیفه می دهم ۲که پیام را اعلام کنی. در وقت و بی وقت آمادۀ کار باش و دیگران را متقاعد و توبیخ و تشویق کن و با صبر و حوصلۀ تمام تعلیم بده، ۳زیرا زمانی خواهد آمد که آدمیان به تعلیم درست گوش نخواهند داد، بلکه از خواهش های خود شان پیروی می کنند و برای خود معلمین بیشتری جمع خواهند کرد تا نصیحتی را که خود دوست دارند از زبان آن ها بشنوند. ۴آن ها از شنیدن حقیقت خودداری می کنند و به افسانه ها توجه می  کنند. ۵اما تو در تمام شرایط هوشیار بوده و برای تحمل رنج آماده باشی. در انتشار انجیل کوشش کن و وظیفۀ خود را به عنوان خادم خدا انجام بده.

۶اما من، وقت آن رسیده است که قربانی شوم و زمان رحلتم رسیده است. ۷من در مسابقه نهایت کوشش خود را نموده ام و دورۀ خود را تمام کرده ام و ایمانم را حفظ کرده ام. ۸اکنون تاج پیروزی در انتظار من است، همان تاج عدالت که خداوند، یعنی آن داور عادل در روز قیامت به من خواهد داد و آن را نه تنها به من، بلکه به همۀ آنانی که با علاقه انتظار ظهور او را دارند، عنایت خواهد فرمود.

سفارش های شخصی پولُس به تیموتاوس

۹کوشش کن که هرچه زودتر پیش من بیایی، ۱۰زیرا «دیماس» به خاطر عشقی که به این دنیا دارد، مرا ترک کرده و به تسالونیکی رفته و «کریسکیس» به غلاتیه و «تیطُس» به دلماطیه رفته است. ۱۱تنها «لوقا» با من است. «مرقُس» را گرفته و با خود بیاور، چون برای کارم مفید است. ۱۲«تیخیکاس» را به اِفِسُس فرستادم. ۱۳در موقع آمدن، چپن مرا که در شهر ترواس پیش «کَرپُس» گذاشتم و همچنین کتابها و از همه مهمتر نسخه های پوستی را بیاور.

۱۴«اسکندر مسگر» ضرر بزرگی به من رسانید. خداوند مطابق اعمالش به او سزا خواهد داد. ۱۵تو نیز از او احتیاط کن، زیرا شدیداً با پیام ما مخالف بود.

۱۶در اولین محاکمه من هیچ کس جانب مرا نگرفت، همه مرا ترک کردند. خدا این عمل را به حساب شان نگذارد. ۱۷اما خداوند یار من بود و قدرتی به من عطا کرد که توانستم تمام پیام را اعلام کنم و آن را به گوش تمام مردم غیر یهود برسانم و به این وسیله از دهان شیر رهایی یافتم. ۱۸خداوند مرا از همۀ بدی ها خواهد رهانید و مرا به سلامت به پادشاهی آسمانی خود خواهد رسانید. بر او تا به ابد جلال باد! آمین.

خاتمه

۱۹به «پریسکیلا» و «اکیلا» و خانوادۀ «انی سی فورس» سلام برسان. ۲۰«ارسطوس» در قرنتس ماند و «تروفیمُس» را در میلیتُس گذاشتم، زیرا مریض بود. ۲۱کوشش کن که پیش از زمستان بیایی. «یوبولس»، «پودِنس»، «لینوس»، «کلادیه» و تمام برادران سلام می رسانند. ۲۲خداوند با روح تو باشد. فیض خدا با همۀ شما باد.

What Is the Life Goal of a Follower of Jesus Christ?

What Is the Life Goal of a Follower of Jesus Christ? (With You)
The life of a follower of Christ is like a runner who aims to win the prize. A Christian does not waste his energy on trivial and meaningless matters, but on the contrary, he forgets what is behind. It is just as the Apostle Paul considered all his achievements and his background as worthless. He does not look back. He has been freed from his past mistakes and sins and now does not allow the sins that have been washed away by the blood of Christ to hold him captive again. It is futile to look back and regret the past. The follower of Christ is like a runner or a football player. He only looks to the finish line or the goal to win the prize.

A Story of Healing Wounds Through Surrender and Forgiveness.

A Story of Healing Wounds Through Surrender and Forgiveness. (Healing Cries)
Leave everything in the hands of the Heavenly Father, Almighty God; this is a balm for all you wounded. Yes, for those who surrender to God, there is no end; but a new beginning!! I wish that this programme will bring you to the end of your suffering and wounds, and that every end in your life will be a new beginning full of blessings and healing. But if you think that wounds have no end, know that divine healing is also endless. In conclusion, my dear listener, I agree with the apostle Paul who wrote in the book of Philippians. “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is right, whatever is lovely, whatever is virtuous, whatever is excellent, and whatever is praiseworthy, think about these things. 9 Whatever you have learned from me or received from me or heard or seen in me, practise these things, and the God of peace will be with you.” My prayer for all of you dear ones is that we, like Jesus Christ, surrender everything to our Heavenly Father. Because He is omnipotent and knows everything. Let us surrender to Him and leave our lives alive in the healing hands of God. Let us also surrender to Him the wounds and those who have wounded us, and the vengeance and judgement. In all your endeavours in life, let us give everything into His safe and secure hands. I surrender my spirit, body, and soul to You.

False Teachers

False Teachers (With You)
False prophets, false teachers and hypocrites play a significant role in spreading hypocrisy, sedition and deception of people and society. This type of people speak and act according to the day and time conditions. False prophets, false teachers and hypocrites play a significant role in spreading dissension, rebellion and deception in society. People like this speak and act in politically correct ways. Do we have such false teachers and hypocrites today? Unfortunately, we do. They exist in every era. How can we recognise them? Jesus Christ taught us how to recognise false prophets, false teachers and hypocrites. He said, "You will know them by their fruit" (Matthew 7:15-16). We must check the "fruit" of their words. Will these words lead people to a life of greater commitment and holiness, or will they spread discord throughout the world? We may not be able to recognise false prophets from their words, but we will be able to identify them by their fruit.

Football World Cup 2022

Football World Cup 2022 (With You)
The 2022 football World Cup was held in Qatar. All teams came to this competition to win the gold cup. Just as an athlete spends all his energy and concentration in training and preparing himself for the day of the competition, in the same way, we believers should also do our utmost in order to reach the likeness of Jesus Christ. We will need to give up some of the pleasures and comforts of this life. Some tough training will be necessary—just like an athlete who strives to gain the first prize spends many hours working out and doing exhausting exercises. We believers should also prepare ourselves for spiritual competition by bringing our bodies and desires under the control of the Holy Spirit through spiritual exercises (reading the Word of God, gathering with other believers, praying, avoiding sin, etc.). Let us remember that the prize of our spiritual competition is not just temporal, but in the end, God will grant us an immortal crown.
