I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
Philippians 1:23-24

Paul had never been with Jesus like the other apostles. He met Jesus in a vision on the road to Damascus. He experienced the love of Christ while blind. Paul lays out his heart here for all to see. And what we see is love, love, love. Love for God, love for the gospel, love for sisters and brothers in the church. Scripture says, “They will know we belong to Jesus by our love.” Certainly we see Paul’s Christlikeness in his lavish love.

By Paul’s example, we see the importance of love for God and love for neighbor at the center of ministry. Jesus stated that these two loves summarize the whole will of God. Paul understood that, and we can too.
