The Apostle Paul was in a Roman prison for his faith in Jesus Christ. Not knowing how long he had to live, he wrote the following words to the church at Philippi, “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. I am hard-pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better.” Philippians 1:21-23 (ESV).
Beloved, Paul wanted to depart. He was ready. He couldn’t wait to be face-to-face with Jesus! How about YOU? Are you ready to shout, “Anchors Away!” and set sail into Jesus’ arms?
