DEVOTIONAL
So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily. (Acts 16:5)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Pastor Timothy was taken along by Paul on his travels. You can see the result. The churches were strengthened in the faith and increased in number. What was Timothy’s job? Preaching the Gospel. Proclaiming Christ. The same as your pastor’s job.
We give thanks for St. Timothy and learn thereby to give thanks for our pastors. Jesus has called your pastor like he called Timothy. Maybe your pastor went straight from college to seminary. Maybe he worked another job first. Maybe he works another job alongside being a pastor now. But it doesn’t matter. When your pastor is called by Jesus through the Church, he is the man specially chosen by Christ to deliver His good gifts to you.
That starts with your Baptism in which your sins were washed away. Your pastor’s hands were used by Jesus to pour the water over you and his mouth was used by Jesus to speak the Word with that water.
Your pastor preaches to you. He proclaims the Law which shows you need to be saved from your sins. He proclaims Christ, comforting you with the Good News that for Jesus’ sake, your sins are forgiven. He absolves you of your sins and counsels you in your life with the Word of God.
Your pastor administers to you the very Body and Blood of Jesus for the forgiveness of sins and the promise that not even death can keep you down. Your pastor is not Jesus, but he stands in Jesus’ place, as Jesus’ man in your church, to deliver Jesus to you. Your pastor, like St. Timothy, is a herald of the good news of the King: Pardon for sinners! Everlasting life for all! Forgiveness of all debts and sins!
Timothy is “famous” because his work with St. Paul is recorded in the Holy Scriptures. But it’s not about Timothy per se. Rather, he is given to us as a godly example of a pastor so that we might see in our own pastors the gift Jesus has given us by which His gifts are given to us. Pray for your pastor! And thank God for him, too! In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
All praise for faithful pastors, Who preached and taught Your Word; For Timothy and Titus, True servants of their Lord. Lord, help your pastors nourish The souls within their care, So that Your Church may flourish And all Your blessings share. (By All Your Saints in Warfare, LSB 517:11)
