CHRIST is enough!
Philippians 1
We all know someone today who is struggling with illness in their body. For some they are on the thresholds of eternity. Just in the last couple of weeks I was able to attend the memorial service of a Christian lady who only in a matter of a few months left this life for the next. The service was filled with the real hope that the lady continues to live.
We cannot read this chapter without pausing over the tremendous sentence of Paul in v21: “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.”
To live is Christ:
* To make Him known, this is the most important thing, v18.
* To see the purposes of God in the difficult things I go through, v19.
* To display Christ in my life for others to see, v20.
* To be an influence of others for the better, v25-26.
To die is gain:
* For people will see Christ in me as this life fades, v20.
* I will depart the struggles of this earth, I will be free, v23.
* I will be with Christ, v23.
* The next life is far better than this life, v23.
So whatever happens (v27), Christ in my living and Christ in my dying.
He has it all covered. Christ is enough!
