September 7, 2014: My Son – Michael Hidalgo

Paul is once again in the region of Lystra and Derbe. The last time he was there he stirred up the crowd into such a frenzy leading to his being stoned. After being stoned he got up and went back into the city – to the very place where people wanted him dead (14.19,20). Now he’s back and he’s met a young man named Timothy.

Paul wants Timothy to follow him, which raises the question, “What did Timothy think of Paul?” He would have, no doubt, known about the stoning and Paul’s getting back up and returning to the city. He knew of Paul’s fearless faith. Paul, had a life worth imitating. If someone watched our life, would they say the same?
