SUFFERED FOR YOU / COLOSSIANS 1:24

(KJV) Colossians 1:24

Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church:

This verse does not suggest that Christ’s sacrifice for our sins was incomplete in any way, but that Paul continued to suffer for preaching the message about Christ. Paul views Christ as still suffering, not to pay for our sins, but in relationship with His people as they continue to serve His purposes, many times through great difficulty. Christ suffered on the cross to pay the complete penalty for our offenses against God, and Paul endured the added sufferings necessary to carry Christ’s message to a spiritually lost world that is hostile to God (Acts 9:4). Paul rejoices because he is allowed to share in Christ’s sufferings (Philippians 3:10; 2 Corinthians 1:4-5; 4:7; 11:23).
