In a world where the end often feels near, Paulâs words to Timothy ring out with unshakable hope and enduring resolve. In his sermon, âThe End Is Nearâ centered on 2 Timothy 4:6-8, Pastor Josiah shared how even though Paul is facing his final days in a cold prison cell, he has no reason to fear, because the reward waiting for him in eternity, far outweighs the hardships he has experienced in this life.
As Paul reflects on a life poured out like a drink offering to Godâfiercely fought, faithfully completed, and steadfastly anchored in faith, there is a crown of righteousness that is waiting for Paul. This reward is not earned by his works but secured by his Redeemer. And the best part is, that same prize isnât just for Paulâitâs for all who endure, who cling to Christ through every trial, and endure to the end by placing their faith in Him.
So, as the clock ticks and eternity looms, the question remains: Are we living for ourselves, chasing fleeting highs âour way,â or are we ready to die for the One who promises life beyond the grave? The end is near, but for the faithful, itâs only the beginning of glory.
