That Good Thing

2 Timothy 1:14 KJV
That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.

The good thing that is being referred to is the Word of God,
• Committed unto Timothy through the teaching of the Apostle
• Committed unto him through the Word written and delivered to him, and
• Committed unto him to preach to others also

We have a good thing when we have the Word of God. Not just good in the sense of pleasant to read and better than others like it, but good in the sense that Moses' parents realized he was "a goodly child." Good in the sense of having a supernatural purpose.
• This good thing must be preserved
• This good thing must be proclaimed
• This good thing must be passed down to those who come after us
