Commentary on this Week’s Prayer
This is the good news as we live our lives in Christ: if we live it is for the Lord that we live, and if we die it is for the Lord that we die. In this brief verse Paul is telling us that we can’t lose: right now we live for Christ and when we are called home we gain it all. Thanks be to God.
