We set our hearts on heaven,
where Christ is at God’s right hand.
Christ is our life, and when he appears,
we too will share his glory.
New Testament Reading - Preach the word boldly
6I say this because I won’t be around to help you very much longer. My time has almost run out. Very soon now I will be on my way to heaven. 7I have fought long and hard for my Lord, and through it all I have kept true to him. And now the time has come for me to stop fighting and rest. 8In heaven a crown is waiting for me, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on that great day of his return. And not just to me but to all those whose lives show that they are eagerly looking forward to his coming back again.
16The first time I was brought before the judge, no one was here to help me. Everyone had run away. I hope that they will not be blamed for it. 17But the Lord stood with me and gave me the opportunity to boldly preach a whole sermon for all the world to hear. And he saved me from being thrown to the lions.a 18Yes, and the Lord will always deliver me from all evil and will bring me into his heavenly Kingdom. To God be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
. . . . . 2 Timothy 4:6-8,16-18- Literally, “I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.”
