I am going to do something that I have never done before in more than 25 years of preaching. I am going to dedicate this message to a woman who knows far more than I the meaning and the comfort of Paul’s words in our text.

To die is to gain, when death is the result of our faith and godliness. The same cannot be said for death at our own h...
life has more than warranted those words. I owe my life to the gospel of Jesus—and no one has taken me deeper into the mys - teries of the gospel than Paul. After the Lord Jesus himself, no one has won my appreciation and admiration more. And these are rooted in the very things that make a person trustworthy. They are a real validation. That ...

beginning for us to be like Jesus, the Son of God in the flesh. Paul says that Jesus himself “is the image of God” (2 Corinthians 4:4). “He is the image of the invisible God” (Colossians 1:15).
