Ptr. Jo Cris Rafael – 1 Thessalonians 2:1-8
Paul demonstrates not only boldness but also a deep love for the souls he ministered to. He and his companions, driven by sincere care, shared the gospel without seeking personal gain or approval from others. Paul likens their affection to that of a nursing mother tenderly caring for her children, showing their willingness to invest their lives into the people they served. This passage reminds us that love for souls should be the driving force behind our proclamation of the gospel, marked by genuine care and selfless commitment.
