6 For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. 2 Timothy 4:6-8

Paul sensed his end was near. He was ready to go meet Jesus. He had accomplished quite a bit on this earth. He was ready.

Are you?

Are you ready?

An old VBS song went something like this,

Do you know that you’ve been born again?
Do you know that you’ve been born again?
Does the Spirit dwell within,
Bearing witness that you’ve been
Cleansed from ev’ry sin and stain:
Are you ready if the Lord should come,
Or today your soul should claim?
Can you face eternal years
Free from doubt and dread and fears?
Do you know, know, know that you’ve been born again?

Yes, I know that I’ve been born again.
Yes I know that I’ve been born again.
For the Spirit dwells within,
Bearing witness that I’ve been
Cleansed from ev’ry sin and stain;
I am ready if the Lord should come,
Or today my soul should claim;
I can face eternal yearsFree from doubt and dread and fears,
Yes, I know, know, know that I’ve been born again!
