2 Timothy 2:13

The saying that Paul presents in this verse seems a bit odd. Previously, the sayings seemed to match up more. Dying with him results in living with him. Endurance results in reigning with him. Denying him results in him denying us. In this verse, we read that if we are faithless, he is still faithful. I almost expect it to say that faithlessness results in him being faithless. However, that doesn't make sense either, because how could our faithlessness affect his faithfulness. Whether we are faithful or faithless, Jesus remains faithful. What we do does not cause Jesus to be faithless. This is the one we serve; Jesus is faithful. We may deny him, but he cannot deny himself.
