In an effort of accomplish his goal of encouraging
this preacher, Paul uses his life as an example of
what Jesus can do through His grace and through His
power.  He says to Timothy, “Look at me, Timothy! 
Look at what Jesus has done for me!”  Paul knew that
if Timothy could ever see that God could take a man
like Paul, with all his baggage, save him by his
grace, and use his for his glory; then God could do a
wonderful work through Timothy as well.
      I would like to take some time to look at
Paul's personal testimony today.  Why? I find that
what Jesus did in, to and for Paul, He has also done
in, to and for me, and in, to and for all of those
who are saved by His grace.  Join me as we consider
Paul's testimony.  I want to preach for a while on
this thought: Look At What Jesus Has Done For Me!

When you give testimony this can be a guide for you.
