Colossians 1:25 (NIV): I have become its (the gospel’s) servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness.”

Paul has been showing us what it looks like to be a servant for God.

Yesterday, Paul showed us that suffering comes when we spread the Good News. While many of us would feel sorry for ourselves, Paul says that he rejoices in the suffering because he knows what he's helping strengthen Christ's Body.

Today, Paul teaches us about the word "commission." This word has some really cool history behind it, and once you learn it, this verse comes alive!
