Revelation of Jesus from first, second books of Timothy and Titus

The Bible  from the books of first ,second Timothy and Titus reveals our Lord JESUS CHRIST as our perfect example, pattern, mentor  and model in all things. 

1 Timothy 4:12. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.   

1 Timothy 3:15.  But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 

 1 Timothy 1:16. Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.  

Titus  2:7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,  2:8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

1. Christ’s exemplary lifestyle, model for Believers.

2. Christlike exemplary lifestyle mandatory from believers 

3. Compelling exemplary legacies, ministry for believers 

1. Christ’s exemplary lifestyle, model for Believers.

Our Lord Jesus left a flawless, impeccable exemplary  lifestyle to be replicated  by believers of all ages for a secured eternity.  

 John 6:38. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

 John 8:29. And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. 

John  17:19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

1 Peter  2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

For this reason, He admonished  all believers to learn from Him.  

Matthew 11:29. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

2. Christlike exemplary lifestyle mandatory from believers 

      These  three books were  pastoral epistles, the Holy Spirit used apostle Paul to write to Timothy, bishop of Ephesus and Titus, bishop of Crete.

 They were been reminded at that time, of the place and importance of living exemplary life style at all times.

1 Peter 5:3. Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. 

That was the timeless legacy our Lord JESUS CHRIST left for all His followers to replicate.

 John 17:19. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 

1 Peter 2:21. For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:  

Our Lord left us example of wholehearted obedience, holiness, harmlessness, humility, submission, pleasing  God in all things. 

 Hebrews 5:8.Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;  

Hebrews 7:26. For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; 

Having placed all these legacies at our disposal, He commanded us to do them. 

A step towards Jesus now avails you of reproducing a lifetime of enviable virtues of greatness and glory .

Then a blessed unending eternity. 

John 13:17.  If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

Our Lord said you should learn from Him  

Matthew  11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

3. Compelling exemplary legacies, ministry for believers 

   Beloved friend, the worldlings today are looking for a great mentor, to guide them to greatness. 

They are looking for an outstanding model to follow. 

These are CHRIST attributes feasibly placed at the disposal of all human beings.  

But then your lifestyle should become epistle for the worldlings to behold and turn to Christ.

2 Corinthians  3:2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:

Remember our Lord said when you lift Him up, He will draw others to Himself.

John  12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

The word for this moment from our Lord to you is to reveal Him to the world and He will draw them to Himself.

Your rewards will be beyond measure in eternity for doing so 

Colossians  3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;  3:24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

1 Peter  1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

His grace will be sufficient for you.

2 Corinthians  9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

Let us pray.
