—2 Timothy 4:5-10
by: Andrew J. Camenga.
As I read these verses, my thoughts wandered back to the reading for last Sunday (Luke 6:20-26). The promise of blessing for that which seems to be the antithesis of blessing is demonstrated here.
As Paul reflected on the life he had lived in Christ-with life on earth about to end-he sounds remarkably content. He had lived in the will of God, and he knew that God is faithful. He looked forward to a crown of righteousness. He looked back on a life of righteousness in Christ.
