FINISHING STRONG=IN THE LORD!
Have YOU BUILT=
Your life=on
The TEACHINGS of Jesus?
Have you built your life
ON GOD’S LOVE?
If so=FINISH STRONG
FINISHING STRONG=IN THE LORD!
Have faith
“I am already-
Being poured out-
Like a libation
And the time=of my departure
IS AT HAND
I have competed well=
I have=finished the race
I have
KEPT THE FAITH!”
2 Timothy 4:6-7
How about you=
Are you=
FINISHING STRONG=In the Lord?
Do you have
ENOUGH FAITH=to see you
Through to the end?
BUILT TO LAST!
Pauls’ second letter
To Timothy=reads like
Saint Paul’s LAT WILL and testament=
The DEATH of Paul
Is imminent
Pauls’ time is SHORT=
And he knows it=
But it is not death=
It is a DEPARTURE
His WORDS about Christ
Will last AN ETERNITY
FINISHING STRONG=IN THE LORD!
“My food’=said Jesus
‘Is to do the WILL=of him
Who sent me
And to FINISH=HIS WORK’”
John
4:34
“However I consider
My life worth nothing
To me
My only aim
Is to FINISH THE RACE=
And complete the task
The Lord has given me--------
The task of
Testifying to the good news
Of God’s grace”
Acts
20:24
I love sports=DON’T YOU?
And Paul uses eloquent words
To COMPARE=THE CHRISTIAN LIFE
To an athletic event
He=Paul
Is FILLED with perseverance
To finish the race
THE MARATHON=of his Christian TESTIMONY
NOTHING is wasted by Paul=
All is on the line
For him=to FINISH THE RACE
“LET PERSEVERANCE=FINISH its work
So that you may be
Mature and complete=NOT lacking anything” James
1:4
Dear Lord=we PRAY
That we all know
We will FACE DEATH=one day
Please help us
TO FINISH STRONG=IN THE LORD!
Like the great Saint Paul=and Jesus himself
And die in faith=let our faith
Pull us=THROUGH THE FINISH LINE
FINISHING STRONG=IN THE LORD!
In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our ALWAYS FAITHFUL=Holy
Father God!
