—Colossians 4:7-15
by: Lisa Moore.
In yesterday’s passage, Paul listed the names of those who deserted him in ministry. In this passage, Paul listed names of the many who were a source of strength and encouragement to him. He shared greetings from faithful brethren who, though unable to be with the Colossians in person, still loved and cared for them from a distance. Paul’s greetings should encourage us to be more outwardly focused. While laboring in our local churches, we must also encourage and pray that all of our brethren “stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God” (v.12).
