I love the Bible!
Today, Thru the Bible started 2 Timothy and Dr McGee called it
Paul's 'swan song.' He mentioned another author's swan song as well--if you
like, please read 2 Timothy or check out the free resources and/or listen for
yourself at TTB.org (or with the app--my fave!).
The mention of swan songs
reminds me that events, things, attention, etc are all finite. Earth is finite.
I am finite. Or as an introduction to 2 Timothy states: "The average human
lifespan is longer now than it used to be. But the death rate is still 100
percent" (CSB, Life Counsel Bible).
However, the Creator of the skies, the earth
and everything in it, and humanity is infinite! And, we can be connected
with Him by grace through faith in Jesus!
As Paul wrote: "He has saved us and
called us with a holy calling not according to our works, but according to his
own purpose and grace, which was given to us
in Christ Jeus before time began. This has now been made evident through
the appearing of
our Savior Christ Jesus, who has abolished death and has brought life and
immortality to light through the gospel" (2 Timothy 1:9-10; emphasis added).
Although "the death rate is 100 percent,"
Jesus promised life (above and 2 Timothy 1:1-2)!
