For I am ready to be poured out like a drink offering, and the time of my departure is near.
~ 2 Timothy 4:6 NIV
Paul wrote this second letter to Timothy from his final imprisonment in Rome. He knew that the Emperor, Nero, wasn’t going to let him walk away. Paul was going to die. And history tells us that he did indeed lose his head before Nero because of his unflinching witness to the gospel of the resurrected King Jesus.
So Paul spoke of his impending death as a drink offering. He essentially said, I’m offering my very life to God, no matter the cost.
You can give God money by giving through your church, or to your neighbors, or to people in need. You can give God time by serving the people whom he loves. You can give God your attention and your devotion in prayer and praise.
But the greatest offering you’ll ever give can’t be quantified with a clock or a calculator. The greatest offering you can give to God is your very life.
Join us in our new series, "The Time is Now," as we learn how to give our whole lives and live entirely for the purposes of God!
