Colossians 1:22-23
But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation – if you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope held out in the gospel.  This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.



Reflection
The gospel of Jesus Christ is the story of Jesus’ offer
of love and grace to every person.  That gospel
should be proclaimed to every person.  Each of us
who are disciples of Jesus should be servants of that gospel.  That means we are the ones who are to proclaim the good news to those who have yet to
hear it and receive it. 

That’s why it is so important that we connect with
the people in our lives who don’t know Jesus so that we can invest in them and disciple them in the way
of Jesus.  We need to be a servant of the gospel of Jesus Christ so that more people will become
disciples of Jesus.

Have you made the decision to be a servant of the gospel of Jesus Christ?  How are you living out that decision in your everyday life?
