Where do you go to find joy in life? We often think that if circumstances changed, if things were different that we would be more happy. We think a different life would be better than ours. If anyone had reason to think that it was the Apostle Paul! He wrote the letter to the church at Philippi from prison, yet reminds us that for him nothing was more important than Christ.
Undoubtedly Paul had things he still wished to do, and places he wanted to go. But stuck in prison and facing death, He shows what a life based on the most important thing looks like.
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
Phil 1:21
Paul is saying "Nothing I leave on earth undone is more important than being with Christ"
Can you say that with him?
