Finishing Strong

Giants’ fans, rightly so, will talk about Mario Manningham’s catch for a long time to come. For most of us what makes the catch memorable is that the Giants finished well and won the game. If the Giants had lost Manningham’s catch would likely only be remembered by a few diehard fans and analysts. Great plays only count when you finish well.

In 2 Timothy 4:7-8 the apostle Paul writes, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. There is reserved for me in the future the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on that day, and not only to me, but to all those who have loved His appearing.” Paul’s life and ministry is filled with great achievements for the advance of the gospel. His legacy however, is great because he finished well.

This Sunday we’ll explore examples of finishing well from the report Paul gives of his first missionary journey in Acts 14:21-28.
