Dr. Manton's LAST SERMON ON 2 TIM 1.18.
2 TIM. 1.18. The Lord grant unto him that he may find Mercy of the Lord in that day.
THE Words are the Apostle's Prayer for Onesiphorus. He prays for his Household, v. 16, The Lord give mercy to the House of Onesiphorus. His Family was probably now at Ephesus, the ordinary place of his Abode, where Timothy also was, to whom he wrote; but he himself was then at Rome. Secondly, He prays for his Person, in the Text. That which put him upon these Prayers was the Kindness he had received of him at Ephesus, and afterwards at Rome; where he sought him, and found him out, and was not afraid to own him, and relieve him, nor ashamed of his Chain. ⟨p. 84⟩In requital, he prayeth God to be his Paymaster, and to return his Kindness into his bosom. He showed mercy to Paul, and therefore Paul desired the Lord to show him mercy. He seeking Paul, found him; so he desireth God would let him find mercy. Paul found mercy of him in a Prison, let him find it in Paradise. The Lord grant unto him, that he may find Mercy of the Lord in that day.
