He Kept The Faith

He Kept The Faith

Continue to have faith and do what you know is right. Some people have rejected this, and their faith has been shipwrecked.

1 Timothy 1:19

I sit a few feet from a man on death row. Jewish by birth. Tentmaker by trade. Apostle by calling. His days are marked. I’m curious about what bolsters this man as he nears his execution. So I ask some questions.

Do you have family, Paul? I have none.

What about your health? My body is beaten and tired. . . .

Any awards? Not on earth.

Then what do you have, Paul? No belongings. No family. . . . What do you have that matters?

I have my faith. It’s all I have. But it’s all I need. I have kept the faith.

Paul leans back against the wall of his cell and smiles.
