strive to be significant

Hebrews 13:22-25 (JDV)

Hebrews 13:22 Brothers and sisters, I urge you to receive this message of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.
Hebrews 13:23 Be aware that our brother Timothy has been released. If he comes soon enough, he will be with me when I see you.
Hebrews 13:24 Greet all your leaders and all the devotees. Those who are from Italy send you greetings.
Hebrews 13:25 Favor be with you all.

strive to be significant

Petersen points out that Timothy “was the only contemporary “hero of faith’ mentioned after all the great heroes had been paraded past the reader in chapter 11.” (42). We don’t know why he was imprisoned, but it is no surprise. He had been discipled by the best and followed in their footsteps. It did not give him an easy life, but it made him a significant person.

We should each strive to be significant like Timothy was.
