#soap # Colossians 04 ## Title: Actions Required ## Scripture: (Colossians 4:17) And tell Archippus, “See to it that you complete the ministry you received in the Lord.” (NET) ## Observation: I would love to know what prompted Paul to speak to Archippus at the end of his letter. Paul is about to finalize the letter and send it on its way, but stops to speak one more thing. He reminds Archippus to finish what was started in him. It would benefit all of us to remember the words spoken to Archippus. “God has started a great work in you. He has given you a ministry. Be sure you stay faithful to it and carry it out.” ## Application: Don’t get weary in serving God. Carry it out. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for showing us what faithfulness looks like.
