Suffering as Ministers of the Gospel | Colossians 1:24-2:5

November 17, 2024

Pastor Joshua Lim

Paul shares about the suffering he has and is going through as a minister of the Gospel. However, he surprisingly says that he rejoices over his sufferings and that is because his sufferings reveal the mystery of the Gospel to others, help others mature in Christ, and help guard against false teachings. An unavoidable aspect of Gospel ministry is suffering. But we can joyfully embrace hardships, sacrifices, and inconveniences because God is at work through those things to make Christ known.
