ISB ~ 2 Timothy 2 v8

Remember Jesus:Christ is the center of Paul’s gospel. Through his natural birth in the line of King David and his miraculous rebirth in the Resurrection, the Jesus that Paul preaches is none other than the Messiah (CCC 436-37).

• In Paul’s mind, Jesus fulfills God’s covenant oath to raise up the Messiah from David’s descendants and enthrone him over an eternal kingdom (2 Sam 7:12-16; Ps 89:3-4; 110:1; Lk 1:32-33). See note on Rom 1:3-4.
