As we near the end of our study in Colossians, Paulโs final greetings introduce us to believers whom Christ had graciously redeemed and who were now laboring for the sake of His kingdom. Their lives remind us that the gospel is not merely a message we believe, but a power that transforms us and calls us to serve Christ and His people.
We have been redeemed to belong to Christ, to serve His people, and to labor faithfully for His kingdom, following the example of Christ, who, being fully God and fully man, humbly served His people (Matthew 20:28). Having been loved by Him when we were undeserving, we are called to reflect that love through humble service to others.
Church, may we ask ourselves: Are our hands willing to labor for His kingdom, and are our knees bent in prayer for His people? If Christ has redeemed us, we should not merely be people who receive ministry, but people who gladly serve with our hands and labor on our knees in prayer.
May the gospel that saved us continually move us to love, serve, pray, and labor faithfully for Christโnot to earn His favor, but because we have already received His grace and love.
