BIBLE IN A YEAR: Ezekiel 8-10; Hebrews 13
KEY VERSE: Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with him, we will also live with him – 2 Timothy 2:11
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
2 Timothy 2:8-13
INSIGHT FOR TODAY
Paul encourages Timothy to endure hardship for the sake of the gospel (2 Timothy 2:3) and reminds him to “remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead” (v. 8). The faith of believers in Jesus is anchored in Christ’s death and resurrection. The apostle reminds us that those who endure suffering for Jesus’ sake will reign with Him, but those who reject Him in the face of persecution will be rejected by Him (v. 12; see Matthew 10:22, 32-33; Hebrews 10:38-39). We can endure suffering because of the faithfulness of Christ. And even when our commitment isn’t as consistent or strong as it should be, He’ll still be faithful: “If we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot disown himself” (2 Timothy 2:13). In the face of death, we can witness for Jesus because “the one who calls [us] is faithful” (1 Thessalonians 5:24). (Insight By: K.T. Sim)
Our Daily Bread – 18th November 2025 MESSAGE
Physician Christian Ntizimira sensed God’s calling to provide end-of-life care in under-resourced areas of his home country of Rwanda. Colleagues often didn’t see the value of such care because “these patients were already considered hopeless.” But Ntizimira found that for patients and their families, his “presence offered a rekindling of hope when all seemed lost.” Ntizimira is grounded in his work by the conviction that Jesus’ death and life can transform how we approach death because “the death of Christ is the source of life.”
In 2 Timothy, the apostle Paul testified to how the reality that Jesus “destroyed death and . . . brought life and immortality to light through the gospel” (1:10) changed how he understood his suffering. Though Paul was a prisoner facing possible execution (2:9), Jesus’ resurrection grounded him in his calling—to point others to salvation through Christ (v. 10). For “if we died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him” (vv. 11-12).
Dying with Jesus doesn’t just mean what happens at believers’ literal deaths. In his letter to the Romans, Paul explained that, as symbolized in baptism, believers are united with Christ’s Spirit in His death and resurrection life (Romans 6:4-8).
Because Christ lives in us, even when we face death’s terrors, we can live for and witness to Him. (Message By: Monica La Rose)
REFLECT: When have you unexpectedly witnessed hope? How can believers witness to Christ’s resurrection?
PRAY: Merciful God, please help me witness to the love and hope of Jesus.
