Lois and Eunice

We don’t know a lot about Lois and Eunice. What we do know is contained in only a few verses in Second Timothy and in Acts 16. We know that they were both Jews. We know that Eunice was married to an unbelieving Greek and had a son Timothy. Lois was the first to become a believer followed by her daughter Eunice. Both were women of faith: “For I am mindful of the sincere faith within you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am sure that it is in you as well,” (NASB, 2 Timothy 1:5).

Lois and Eunice had a faith that was genuine; they had a faith that was communicated; they had a faith that was influential. Would that all of us follow the example of Lois and Eunice.
