Paul, 2nd Timothy, said “I am now ready to be offered up”. Paul knew he was going to die shortly. He was ready. Oh-he had fought the good fight, kept the faith, finished the course. He was ready because on the Damascus Road. He had a saving encounter with Jesus. Are we ready? Have we had a saving encounter with Jesus? Thank You, Jesus for our salvation; we pray for those who have not responded to the Holy Spirit; call on their lives, in Your name, amen.
