Finished

Today, we are going to finish up Paul’s second letter to Timothy (2 Timothy). I invite you to open your Bible and read along with me or find it online here.

2 Timothy 4

6 As for me, my life has already been poured out as an offering to God. The time of my death is near.

7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful.

8 And now the prize awaits me - the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing.

Finished. Over the past couple of weeks, I have had the honor of performing three funeral services. Unfortunately, we wait until moments like that to evaluate our journey. Don’t. I would encourage you to take a few moments and do it this weekend ... are you on the path or have you wondered away ... are you moving forward or have you settled into a comfort zone ... have you remained faithful? Finish the race.
