Philippians: Philippians 1: 22-24

Philippians: Philippians 1: 22-24 by ric Gustafson


In these bible verses, Paul is asking us if we want to get away?. We think about heaven and how blessed it will be. Then we think about this life and that we are loved and wanted here. We want to go to heaven and yet we want to stay here. Paul in these verses is torn between the two.
God does want us here for a time to be of fruitful labor for him. On the other hand, we want to be with Jesus. To Paul, being with Jesus is far better than here. For those like me who follow Jesus, it is the same. We want to be with Jesus forever.
