FIVE METAPHORS OF THE CHRISTIAN LIFE.<\/p>\n
2Ti_4:6-8.<\/p>\n
Paul-<\/p>\n
I. Speaks as a Sacrifice. "Ready to be offered," likening the end of life as an offering to God. Years before he had accepted Christ’s offering for his sins, then offered himself as a living sacrifice. All his Christian life had been sacrificial. Now he was literally to be offered-as a martyr for the faith.<\/p>\n
II. Speaks as a Sailor. "Time of my departure," likening the end of life to the loosening of cable.<\/p>\n
III. Speaks as a Soldier. "I have fought," likening life to a fight.<\/p>\n
IV. Speaks as an Athlete. "I have finished my course," likening life to a race.<\/p>\n
V. Speaks as a Trustee. "I have kept the faith," likening life to a sacred trust.<\/p>\n
