Paul years have turned to months, his months have now turned to days, his days have now turned to hours, his hours all have turned to minutes, and his minutes have dwindled down to seconds. Paul knew that the end of his life upon earth was immediately at hand. This is the reason he had just passed the baton of the gospel over to Timothy—the reason he had just given Timothy the most awesome charge that can be given to a man: the awesome charge to preach the Word of God and to minister to a world that is lost and dying—a world that is reeling and rocking like a drunken man under the weight of so many desperate needs. Timothy must expediently go forth and preach the gospel with all the mighty virtues and commitment of his being. Now let's set the record straight that Paul is not afraid of death. In fact, Paul knew that death was a equal opportunity employer—and he looked forward to death, for it meant he would be with Christ, " For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." (Philippians 1:21 KJV). The writer is telling us that we have a meeting that has been arranged ahead of time for us by another. This is a meeting that we would not choose to attend if we had any say in the matter. In fact, we do everything we can to put off this meeting as long as possible. That is why we go to the doctor, swallow their pills, and try to take care of these bodies of clay.
