What does Paul's great struggle and burden for believers he has never met teach us about Christian care and concern for others?
Paul says he has a great struggle and burden for believers he has never met. Colossians 2:1 For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face,
Colossians 1:24 - 2:5
ESV - 24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church. 25 Of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known.
