Words to Live By - Paul

The life of the Apostle Paul can be summed up in one phrase. He was in prison when he wrote it, yet his tone was surprisingly joyous. His body had been arrested by the Romans, but his heart had been arrested by Jesus. And that’s why Paul said, “For me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21). For Paul, life was about faithfully following Jesus, and death was about finally seeing Jesus. Whether he lived or died, it was all about Jesus. Once your heart has been overcome by Jesus, that will be true for you as well. Whether you live or die, it’s all about Jesus.
