2 Timothy 3:14 (ESV)
But as for you, continue in what you have learned and
have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease the pan, cream the
butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla; stir in the cake flour, pour it
into the pan and bake for 75 minutes. I remember mom teaching me this as a kid.
I was interested in how to make more than PB&J, so I listened, watched, and
learned. To this day I still like to create in the kitchen.
It’s fun when you can continue to do the things you were
taught when you were little. It’s fun to build on what you learned from the
important people in your life.
My parents taught me a lot of other things too. I did wood
working, I planted a garden and learned to do the laundry. I learned habits
too—like patience, compassion, and hard work. Most importantly, my parents
taught me about Jesus. I say “most importantly” because if they had not shared
Jesus with me, who would have?
Maybe you have had some of the same thoughts. Maybe you’ve
thought something like this: “If so and so wouldn’t have shared the good about
Jesus, would I have ever learned about my God and my Savior?”
The good news is that many of you do know who Jesus is
because someone told you about the need for a Savior and Jesus, the solution.
Maybe it was a pastor, a teacher, a friend, parents, or another family member.
Maybe you’re just starting to hear about Jesus from these devotions. All of
that is God’s work in your life, sending faith-sharers to help you know who
Jesus is.
So, remember to take the apostle Paul’s words to heart and
continue to grow in what you have learned. Keep growing so that you can be that
person who shares Jesus with someone else. In the meantime, say “Thank you,
God” for bringing me Jesus through my own 2 Timothy 3:14 (ESV)

Dear Lord, thank You
for sending people into our life to share the good news about Jesus. Through Your
Word and sacrament, we have the greatest treasure ever given. In the Name of
Jesus, Amen..
