If you looked at the title of this post, the first question you may have asked is, “Who is Eunice?” Eunice is known for at least two things. First, she is the mother of Timothy in the Bible. Second, and most importantly, Eunice is recognized by both Paul (2 Timothy 1:5) and Luke (Acts 16:1) for her faith in Jesus! Eunice’s faith is at the center of her motherhood. Biblically, a mother’s faith in Jesus is the most important factor in making a mom a “good mom.”
This Sunday in our study of Timothy I hope to encourage mom’s using Eunice as an example. My encouragement has nothing to do with the latest TikTok trend for moms. Things like cutting sandwiches into the shape of Disney characters does not make a mom a “good mom.” I pray my encouragement stems from Jesus’s work in every mom’s life. The work of faith. The work of trust. The work of grace. The work of hope. And all of these are the work of Jesus, and not added work to a stressed out, anxious mom!
“I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well.” - 2 Timothy 1:5
