Great agony?
Colossians 2:1 For I want you to know what a great conflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh,
What great agony for those whom Paul never met. That truely makes zero difference because Christ agonized for all of us. This teaches me that Christ is still agonizing for folks and am I obedient & willing to do so for Christ sake? Knowing what we know now with the church of Laodicea, the Lord always knowing, still agonized for them. He didnt write them off, invest His agony on others. Nope, as He loved Judas until the end, He loves this soon to be lukewarm church. I learn from Christ, everyone & anyone is worth fighting for. Never give up on them.
