2 Timothy 4:1
The Last Solemn Charge
SUMMARY OF II TIMOTHY 4: A Charge to Preach the Word. Paul's Time of
Departure at Hand. His Blessed Confidence. Timothy Asked to Come.
Deserted by Others in the Hour of Trial, Yet the Lord Was with.
Him. Parting Salutations.
I charge [thee]. How impressive this charge from the weary,
war-worn apostle, as he stood on the edge of the grave!
Before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ. The names of God and of
Christ are invoked to give it solemnity.
Who shall judge. Christ is named in his capacity of Judge, who
shall judge not only Timothy's hearers, but himself.
The quick and the dead. See 1 Thessalonians 4:15.
At his appearing and his kingdom. This final judgment is placed
at the time when Christ shall appear in his kingdom of glory. See
Matthew 25:31.
