Gospel Caring

1 Thessalonians 2:7-9

Instead, we were like young children among you. Just as a nursing mother cares for her children, so we cared for you. Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well. Surely you remember, brothers and sisters, our toil and hardship; we worked night and day in order not to be a burden to anyone while we preached the gospel of God to you. (NIVUK)

Gospel ministers are, at times, characterised as strident and harsh propagandists who promote their cause but do not care for people. That is not true gospel ministry. The apostle used his own example: he used to be a violent zealot (Acts 22:3-5) but after he encountered Jesus he changed - demonstrating Jesus’ character in the way he treated the people God sent him to serve. Peter’s previously fiery personality was similarly transformed (1 Peter 5:1-3). Gentleness is one of the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:23), and was a distinctive mark of Christ's ministry (Acts 10:38).
