<p>4:17- see on Acts 12:25.<br /><em>And say to Archippus: Take heed to the service which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfil it</em>- Archippus was part of the house church of Philemon (Philemon 2; possibly the son or relative of Philemon). His ministry &quot;service&quot; was perhaps to minister there whilst Epaphras and others from there were away in Rome. This would suggest that the Colossian church met in the home of Philemon. if we are &quot;in Christ&quot;, then we receive a ministry; receiving the ministry is predicated upon being in Christ, and therefore every baptized believe into Christ has a ministry, something to do; but we must &quot;take heed&quot; that we &quot;fulfil it&quot;. To &quot;receive&quot; Christ (s.w. 2:6) is to also receive a unique role in His body, a ministry, a path of service. </p>
