I like to call the remainder of Colossians, “God’s hall of flame.” We see here people who were part of Paul’s ministry as well as those serving Christ in Colosse. The flame was hot and bright in most of these people. So here is a last question:
28) In Col. 4:7-18 Paul mentions several people. Using the accompanying verses, how do these people encourage us in being “faithful” servants of Christ?
I am going to let you do this search. If you want my thoughts you will have to go to the blog (https://ronandcindy.blogspot.com/, 2015/09/28).
