Why? Because, when Paul was imprisoned a second time in Rome and new he was about to face death eye to eye, everybody left him, except Luke. He felt what it was like to be abandoned by his closest friends and coworkers which is why he reaches out to Timothy telling him he was eager to see him. Onesiphorus searched all over Rome until he found Paul, and after finding him in prison chained like a criminal, Onesiphorus made many trips to visit Paul. Paul ends the chapter with a blessing to this guy, “May the Lord show him special kindness on the day of Christ’s return.” May we all be like Onesiphorus, visiting the destitute and forging boldness in the kingdom! unashamed, gospel, Jesus, kindness, blessing, abandon, alone, depressed, depression Onesiphorus is only mentioned a couple of times in Paul’s second letter to Timothy but he made a huge impact on Paul.
