  • Summary

  • Part 5 in our sermon series: “Endure” is “Finish Well,” and the Apostle Paul was the foremost example of one who finished well. The lessons we learn from this aging apostle will enable us to run well today, while encouraging us to finish well tomorrow. First, Paul sees himself as a “drink offering” about to be poured out. The drink offering was a symbolic way of saying, “I gladly give all that I have to the Lord.” In so doing, he is giving Timothy the encouragement to do likewise: give it your all, pour out your best. Second, Paul likens his life and ministry to that of a long-distance runner who has competed honorably in the ancient Olympic games. First, he lives a disciplines life: “I have fought a good fight;” second, he lived a directional life: “I have finished the race:” and third, he lived a doctrinal life: “I have kept the faith.” Paul did all of this because he knew he would receive a reward directly from Jesus Christ. As believers, our calling is to fight the good fight of faith. Finish well because there is a finish line out there somewhere and it may be closer than any of us realize. Amen
