Paul's Ministry

The ministry of Paul was an amazing commitment to the Lord and to His work.  In this passage in Colossians, Paul explains that he had a reason to suffer with joy for the Lord in that he gladly did this for the ministry of reaching others.  Paul knew he was merely a servant of a great God and proclaimed his ministry as one of service to the Lord.  Paul was also a steward that took the mystery of old to the lost by preaching the Word, declaring Christ as the Savior indwelt both Jew and Gentile for a future glory.   Paul gladly labored to sweat and exhaustion even as the Lord worked mightily in him.

Primary Scripture: Colossians 1:24-29
