Summary
But really, when you think of the control in our lives, so much of what we think we can control in our lives really, isn't illusion, isn't it? So I'm 139, it tells us that the Lord holds our days, the Lord holds the days. He says, whether I live or whether I die, he belongs to the Lord and he says, even if he dies, it is gain. To be at peace with dying, affects how we live now, to be at peace with the fact that if the Lord carries, we will experience death, that affects how we live. Look, please, at verse 20, He says, it's my eager expectation and hope that I will not be put to shame in any way, but that by speaking with all boldness, Christ will be exalted now as always in my body, whether by life or by death. In prison, wondering, I wonder whether I'm going to live, or whether I'm going to die, who could be at peace with death, and what He wants is simply to exalt Christ.
