S. 2 Timothy 1:5 (NIV) 5 I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.
O. Paul’s remebrance of Timothy is of Timothy’s sincere faith. His faith was pure. It was genuine. It was the result of a faith legacy passed down to Timothy from his grandmother and his mother. These godly women invested in Timothy’s spiritual life. They gave him a legacy - which would influence arguably the greatest apostle of all.
Parents and grandparents have a unique opportunity to teach and pass down a legacy of the Christian faith to their kids and grandkids.
A. I am blessed that my mom and dad taught me about Jesus and that I have had the opportunity to pass this Christian heritage to my sons and now grandchildren. I’m also very aware that God has given me the opportunity to invest in and impart a legacy of faith to the current teenagers at Better Life Church and our student ministry, Elevate.
P. Thank you Father for parents that passed on a spiritual (Christian) heritage to me. Thank you for giving me a platform as a parent, grandparent and pastor to pass this legacy on to my kids, grandkids and the current teens in our church. Holy Spirit, fill me and guide me to greater fruit bearing opportunities. In Jesus’ name.
