In a world filled with darkness and tragedy, Christians are called to shine the light of Christ. Colossians 1:24-29 reveals that our mission involves rejoicing even in suffering, as our steadfastness encourages others in faith. We are stewards of a powerful message - that God came close in Jesus Christ to reconcile humanity to Himself. This good news is for everyone, regardless of background or past mistakes. Though sharing this message requires toil and struggle, we can rely on Christ's power working within us as we seek to make the gospel fully known in our unique spheres of influence.
