The Faithful Messenger Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this line, Epaphras is not a distant figure but the image of a faithful minister arising in your consciousness. The 'you' in Colossians is your whole being, the I AM that learns and acts. When you 'learn' of Epaphras, you are learning of a pattern of service and steadfastness that can govern your thoughts and motives. The inner minister is the portion of consciousness that remains faithful under pressure, directing each choice toward Christ—toward union with the divine I AM. The verse invites you to acknowledge this minister within as the one who teaches, guides, and supports your vocation, family, and daily duties. By recognizing Epaphras as the faithful minister inside, you align your work and relationships with the truth that you are always coached by an inner minister, not by external appearances. Your sense of self becomes a vessel through which divine activity moves, making your actions ministerial and trustworthy. Rest in that inner tutor, and your life will reveal the realities you assume.
