Some of the last words Paul shared with elders in Ephesus are captured in Acts 20:35. He knows he is going to be imprisoned and shares they wouldn't be seeing him again. When put in this context, there is an urgency in his words. Paul had spent years working hard with the people of Ephesus by this time to establish something that would last, that could provide help and hope for those in need, and spread the message of Jesus.
The work we are all often called to do is hard, but is also an immense blessing. Happy Sabbath, and may you have the opportunity to give to someone!
