Remember Jesus Christ

1. In what ways have you tried to be ‘strong’ on your own? How has this led you to rely on yourself? Your own effort, your own abilities, your own determination? How is this preventing you from experiencing God’s grace that is in Christ Jesus in your my life?

2. How are you sharing in Paul’s suffering? In what ways is your following of Jesus causing you to experience selfless sacrifice like a soldier, discipline and dedication like an athlete, or patience and perseverance like a farmer? Or are you pursuing a comfortable life, an easy life, a blessed life, that is opposite to what Paul is teaching Timothy?

3. How often do you remember Jesus Christ in your everyday life? What is it that you know and love about Him? How is God’s Word shaping your relationship with Jesus?
