This farewell is not just Paul’s, but every disciple’s challenge: to live a life of witness, come what may.

Paul’s words speak of a heart poured out in service, not for glory, but out of love and obedience.

Humility, hardship, and perseverance mark the path of true mission.

Paul does not cling to comfort or certainty—only to the call of Christ.

He measures his life not by success, but by faithfulness.

Called to proclaim grace—to do so boldly, publicly, and intimately, Paul did not hold back even when the outcome is unclear.

Acts 20:17-27, John 17:1-11
