Finishing Well

"Leave no trace behind" might be a good mantra while wilderness hiking on a trail, but it doesn’t relate well to the trail of life.  Everyone will leave a legacy for those who will follow us in life, good or bad.  The Apostle Paul was very concerned about the spiritual legacy that he was leaving behind for Timothy, his young protege.  One last time, he encouraged Timothy to keep the main thing the main thing…Jesus Christ crucified, dead, buried, and resurrected.  If he would just stay true to that in his preaching to the Church in Ephesus, the Holy Spirit would take care of the rest.
