Finish the Course

As Paul closes out his letter He makes some bold statements as he reflects on his life. "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." As readers of these words in 2022 it's easy to look at Paul's impact on Christianity and agree with his words. Paul's letters are a large component of our Bible. Paul's missionary journeys led to him planting churches that planted churches spreading the gospel globally. Paul is one of the most prominent figures in the Christian faith. But, as Paul penned these words he was a lonely man, abandoned by many, with a few days remaining on earth. On your last days on earth could you too share these words? What about today?
