PRAY FOR ALL PEOPLE: 1 Timothy 2:1-7

OUTLINE
I. We must pray
II. Who we must pray for
III. Why we must pray
1 TIMOTHY 2:1-7
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. 3 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man[a] Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. 7 For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. Either tonight (November 21) or this Wednesday Night (November 24), this passage from 1 Timothy will most likely be read in churches across the USA holding Thanksgiving services. And here is hoping that everyone reading this has a Happy Thanksgiving. And if you enjoyed your meal, thank God and a farmer. And please don't make fun of or put down farmers with your mouth full of food. To me, that is an insult to the memory of both of my beloved grandfathers, who both farmed for a living.

So sad you get so close. Encourage people to desire the salvation of all, but can’t say that God desires it, even though the scripture says it.
