The Archippus Within
Yesterday I taught from Chapter 3 and 4 of Colossians. I so like that we get to find out that Onesimus (4:9) is restored. (Part of his story is in Philemon) And that John Mark, Barnabas's cousin is back on the mission field (John Mark's story is in Acts).
In the next to last verse of Chapter 4 (4:17) there's a personal message to Archippus. Mr. Paul says to him, "Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may continually fulfil it." NASB
The NASB leaves out 'continually' but it applies in our time and culture. So many things continually calling our name, pulling us aside from the important. Don't you find it hard to stay on track? There's a Tat for you to put down your arm: "Take Heed To Stay On Track". What kind of font to use? Maybe in a 1967 Poster style.
