“Letter To Timothy” The Movie.

Today, I’d like us to look at the Gospel as a film series. Today, let’s imagine that the whole Gospel story, God’s plan to save humanity has been culminated into an entire film series.

Of course, this is film series is massive! (Maybe even as big as Star Wars will be when Disney’s done with it?)

If you’re an avid reader of LeadBiblically.com, there’s a single film that we’ve been watching (metaphorically of course) over the past few months titled, “Letters To Timothy“, The Movie.

As we know, this movie is based on true events, recorded in Paul’s first and second letters to his pastoral apprentice, Timothy. This week, we’ll be studying the final scene of “Letters To Timothy“, The Movie.

Lead Roles: Paul & Timothy

In any great movie, we of course have the Lead Roles. And we’ve spent significant time studying them throughout this series. (Click TIMOTHY to search posts from this series.)

To recap what we already know, Paul is an Apostle, a preacher, an evangelist and a global church leader. As he writes this letter, he sits in a Roman prison, knowing that any moment could be his last.

Timothy, the receiver of this letter, is Paul’s apprentice, leader of the Ephesian church.

This Week’s Study

Paul and Timothy are Lead Roles. But this week we’re going to focus on some of the less-than popular roles. At the end of Paul’s 2nd letter to Timothy, he mentions some lesser known or completely unknown people who are somehow a part of our movie:

“19 Greet Priscilla and Aquila and the household of Onesiphorus. 20 Erastus stayed in Corinth, and I left Trophimus ill in Miletus. 21 Do your best to get here before winter. Eubulus greets you, and so do Pudens, Linus, Claudia and all the brothers and sisters. 22 The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you all.” (2 Tim. 4:19-22)

Who are these people? More importantly, how do they fit into the greater story (our film series) of the Gospel?
