To Live is Christ

Pastor Timothy Lee

In our passage, we see that though Paul is still in prison, he is supremely confident of his deliverance. While many today may assume the deliverance he speaks of is freedom from prison, we see that true deliverance in Paul's eyes is the ability to live honoring Christ, whether it be in life or in death. As we live in a culture today that is so wrapped up around personal accomplishment, achievement, and success, it is essential that we hear Paul's words to remind us of our ultimate aim, which is to glorify God and lead others to glory in Him as well. We can rejoice in the quagmires of life because our future is clear - whether in life or death, we gain Christ.
