Marsha's Musings: Starting 1 Timothy

My Quiet Time

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope, To Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. (1 Timothy 1:1, 2 ESV)

Just a few things jumping out to me here.

1. Paul was an apostle by the command of God not by self-appointment 

2. Jesus Christ is our hope...that's a sure hope not just an "I hope so" hope.

3. Grace, mercy and peace come from God.
