天天考查圣经 1127

你从婴儿时期就认识圣经。——提后3:15

年轻人,你正在努力追求某些属灵目标吗?你可以从哪里获得帮助和鼓励这样做呢?如果你追求那些荣耀上帝的属灵目标,又可以期望得到哪些福乐呢?我们看看提摩太的事迹和他一生所追求的事。提摩太在路司得长大,这个小城位于罗马辖下的加拉太行省。约公元47年,保罗在路司得传道。大概就在那时,提摩太开始学习基督教信仰。当时他可能是个青少年。不久,提摩太在当地的基督徒弟兄中就有了好名声。两年后,保罗再次探访路司得,获知提摩太在灵性上进步很大,于是拣选他跟自己并肩从事海外传道工作。(徒14:5-20;16:1-3)提摩太日渐成熟,后来受托担任重大的职责,包括强化基督徒弟兄。约公元65年,保罗在罗马被囚期间写信给提摩太,当时提摩太是以弗所的基督徒长老。《守》07/5/1刊3篇3-5段
========================================
提摩太的父亲有一些产业,当时很可能也希望他子承父业。然而提摩太却选择了另外一条道路,他跟随使徒保罗在希腊广阔的土地上传讲上帝的王国,后来更是委派他做基督徒会众的长老。年轻人也应当向他学习,树立一个属灵的目标,不管是督导会众还是教导人认识上帝的话语,都应当时刻把上帝的王国放在首位。另外做父母的也应当向提摩太的母亲学习,教导儿女从小就认识上帝耶和华和他的王国,还要用自己的行动做榜样。

From infancy you have known the holy writings.—2 Tim. 3:15.

As a young person, are you reaching out for specific spiritual goals? Where can you find help and encouragement to do so? What blessings can you expect to reap if you pursue goals that honor God? Consider the life and career of Timothy. Timothy grew up in Lystra, a small town in the Roman province of Galatia. He likely came in touch with Christianity as a teenager when Paul preached in Lystra about 47 C.E. Timothy quickly gained an excellent reputation among the local Christian brothers. On returning to Lystra two years later and learning of his progress, Paul chose Timothy to serve as his missionary companion. (Acts 14:5-20; 16:1-3) As Timothy matured, he was entrusted with even greater responsibilities, including crucial missions to strengthen the brothers. When Paul wrote to Timothy from prison in Rome about 65 C.E., Timothy was serving as a Christian elder in Ephesus. w07 5/1 3:3-5
