Philippians 1:21-23

Description:

Scripture:
21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell. 23 For I am hard pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. 24 Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you.

You’ve probably heard the phrase, I’m between a rock and a hard place. Sometimes you find yourself in a situation in life where you are truly stuck between two difficult choices, but I imagine for most of us, we wouldn’t say that about the situation Paul found himself in.
