Suffering To Serve For The Sake Of The Gospel Colossians 1:24-29

Paul’s Labor for the Church 24 Now I rejoice in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church. 25 I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness— 26 the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. 27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. 29 To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.

REJOICING in SUFFERING Following Jesus comes at a COST Christ’s suffering is SUFFICIENT Our suffering is an EXTENSION of Christ’s suffering

STEWARDING the GOSPEL The COMMISSION from God Reveal the MYSTERY of the GOSPEL in FULL Take the Gospel to UNBELIEVERS
