Now, let's get into the Word Of God

In today’s Bible Study, we are going to study about the:

Timon the Deacon

Etymology on the name Timon:

Being translated from the Greek: ( “Honorable” )

Acts: 6:1-6

Timon was one of the original seven men chosen by the church in Jerusalem and consecrated by the apostles to have oversight of a more equitable distribution of the daily rations.

Timon was no doubt a Hellenistic, i.e. a Greek -speaking Jew, to judge by the greek character of his name.

Timon, shared with his associates in office a favorable reputation and is described as Spirit-filled and wise. ( Acts 6:5)

Qualifications to become a Deacon:

Acts 6:1-7

The persons chosen to serve tables must be duly qualified.

They must be filled with gifts and graces of the Holy Ghost, necessary to rightly managing this trust;

Men of Truth

Men that hated Covetousness

All who are employed in the service of the church, ought to be commended to the Divine grace by the prayers of the church.

They blessed them in the name of the Lord.

The word and grace of God are greatly magnified, when those are wrought upon it, who were least likely.

It is believed that later on in Timon’s life

That he was chosen bishop of the city of Bosra in Syria, where he led many to Christianity.

He was thrown into a red-hot furnace and received the crown of martyrdom; apparently his preaching brought about the (ire) of the local governor, who martyred him with fire.

He is also commemorated on July 28.
