Paul and Sehnsucht

Paul often speaks to the concept of Sehnsucht in the book of Philippians.  With verses such as “For me, to live is Christ to die is gain.”  Paul expresses his longing for to be with his savior.  He recognizes this longing is nothing that can be fulfilled in this world while apart from his lord and savior.  He can live for Christ in this world, but his longing can only be fulfilled in the next.  Paul possibly more than any other person in the Bible expresses the concept of sehnsucht throughout his writings.
