Content in Christ

“I want to know Christ.” That statement pretty much sums up Paul’s life after his encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus. After that point, nothing he had acquired or had the potential to acquire mattered. Knowing Jesus and making Him known was the driving force in his life, and he was content. He had given up everything worldly. He had been beaten, he had been stoned, he had been shipwrecked, and he was writing from a prison cell…content. I need to sit with this today.
