Strangers in exile

You discover that you are a stranger living in exile when ...

the thought of death warms your heart with anticipation.

For me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. NASB
For me, to live is Christ and to die is more Christ! Brother Mark's paraphrase

For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better. But if I live, I can do more fruitful work for Christ. So I really don’t know which is better. I’m torn between two desires: I long to go and be with Christ, which would be far better for me. But for your sakes, it is better that I continue to live. Phil. 1:21-24 NLT
