Jesus died young.

In today’s world, his obituary would likely say that he left us too soon, describing his passing as a tragic loss — a life cut short, a painful exit.

While it’s undeniable that he died young, the late Dr. Myles Munroe’s profound teaching in a sermon delivered years before his own untimely death has deepened my understanding of why some people leave this earth early.

I’ve come to see that impact is not measured by the length of life but by the legacy left behind.

Discovering your gift

“I’m on a collision course with death, and so are you. And my agreement is death gets nothing. I want to die like my savior: finished. Not old. Finished” — Dr Myles Munroe.

The Apostle Paul once said, “For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race.” (2 Timothy 4:6–7)
