       Went a little down a rabbit hole there. But moving on. Verse 17: “And say to Archippus, “See that you fulfill the ministry that you have received in the Lord” (ESV). This is probably the same Archippus as the one mentioned in the beginning of Paul’s Letter to Philemon, which would be Philemon’s son then. Other than that possibility, we really don’t know much else. Paul did say something along the same lines to Timothy, when he was writing him, in his second letter to him, when he stated, “fulfill your ministry” (ESV). Whether this was a divine word Paul had from the Spirit of God, or whether this was by word of mouth in that someone else told Paul what going on (like Epaphras), there is no way to know for sure. Nonetheless, it can be an encouragement to anyone who has a ministry, like a minister or Bible teacher. It’s important for people to continue along doing all that the Lord wants them to do, and to not end it unless the time has come for that. The Lord will guide that process. In reality, all ministries, no matter what they are, have an end.
