The Book of Colossians

August 20, 2023

Passage: Colossians

Paul had not been to the church in the town of Colossae, but Paul’s friend Epaphras told Paul about the church. Epaphras told Paul the church friends in Colossae loved Jesus. This pleased Paul and he decided to write a letter to thank the friends for their work.

Paul told the Colossian people he prayed for them to learn more about the work God wanted them to do. “Ask God to help you be strong and wise so you can serve Him. Remember, God sent His Son, Jesus, to help us.”

Paul reminded the church friends to never forget Jesus. “Jesus is the leader of the church,” said Paul.

Paul had heard that some people in Colossae listened to teachers who were not truthful about Jesus. “Be careful and do not listen to those teachers. Jesus is the One you should listen to,” Paul wrote. “Think about Jesus and what God wants. Work together and do your best.”

Paul told the people to be kind, gentle, and patient. “Forgive one another because Jesus forgave you,” Paul said. “Let the peace of Jesus rule your hearts,” Paul wrote to the church friends.

Finally, Paul told families to live in the way God commanded. Husbands and wives and children were to love and obey because this pleases God.

“Do everything for Jesus,” Paul wrote.
