The church in the city of Colossae had recently been founded by one of the apostle Paul's colleagues; he had never met them personally. But he had heard of their faith and of some of the challenges that threatened to undermine that faith, including what seems to be the presence of false teachers who were leading them astray. Paul therefore writes to them from prison, lovingly encouraging them to realize the treasure they already have in the gospel. In so doing, he paints a magnificent and cosmic portrait of the Christ in whom they've already believed, and in whom they've been given a new and transformed nature. His words should help remind believers of every time and place that the Christ we worship is supreme. (Unless otherwise noted, all Scripture passages will be read from the New International Version.)
Cameron Lee hosts Chunks: Paul's Letter to the Colossians, a religion show with 82 episodes published.
Paul’s final words to the Colossians are “Grace be with you” (Col 4:18), echoing the words with which he greeted them at the beginning, “Grace and peace to you” (1:2). Just as we should understand his opening greeting as
Paul probably used what’s called an amanuensis— essentially, a secretary who took dictation—to write to the Colossians. It may have been Timothy, but we can’t know for certain. Here at the end of Colossians and a few oth
Just before he ends the letter, Paul shifts his greetings: instead of sending greetings from the people around him , he sends greetings or instructions to people in and around Colossae (Col 4:15-17). These greetings refl
Paul wrote to the Colossians from prison; we can’t be sure where. But wherever he was, he has others with him whom he considered his partners in the work of the gospel. He brings greetings to the Colossians from these co
Among the people Paul names at the end of his letter, three are Jews: Aristarchus, Mark, and Justus, whom he calls his “co-workers” (Col 4:10-11). We know nothing about Justus, but Aristarchus is mentioned five times in
As he often does in his letters, Paul ends his letter to the Colossians by passing along greetings from other people who are with him, as well as sending specific greetings to people in the church to which he writes. We
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught his followers to see themselves as the salt of the earth. Similarly, in Colossians 4:6, Paul urges the Colossians to let their conversations be “seasoned with salt.” This may be a
Have you ever heard the idea of “redeeming the time”? By that phrase, we usually mean making good use of time that would otherwise be wasted. The phrase is a biblical one, coming from the King James translation of Paul’s
In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus told his emotionally exhausted disciples to watch and pray. Similarly, as Paul begins to wrap up his letter to the Colossians (Col 4:2-4), he tells them to pray and be watchful. He asks
Paul wants Christian household relationships to be transformed from the inside out, and has pastoral advice for wives and their husbands, children and parents, even slaves. His final words are to the masters (Col 4:1). T
In the previous episode, we considered what Paul said to slaves (Col 3:22-25) against the background of the situation between Philemon and Onesimus. In this episode, we read the passage from Colossians in tandem with the
The shortest of Paul’s letters was written to a prominent member of the Colossian church, a man named Philemon. One of Philemon’s slaves, Onesimus, had run away, and by law, Philemon had the right to see him punished or
Slavery was a prominent feature of Roman society and its households, even in Christian households. We could wish for Paul to speak out boldly against the institution of slavery, but he doesn’t. Indeed, he spends more tim
If Paul’s instruction to wives that they should submit to their husbands is controversial, so is his instruction to children, telling them to “obey [their] parents in everything” (Col 3:20). Some of us may have experienc
Paul has taught the Colossians to be people of compassion, humility, and love, and naturally he would expect to see their relationships at home reflect the same godly character. In Colossians 3:18-21, he has important pa
You may already be familiar with the famous (or infamous) passage in Ephesians 5 that teaches wives to submit to their husbands. Colossians contains a similar passage, in which he seeks the transformation of households f
Most of us have probably been taught to pray “in the name of Jesus,” which usually means ending our prayers with words to that effect. And there are good biblical reasons for doing so. But Paul teaches that we should do
There’s a tendency in some churches to speak of “worship” as if it meant “worship music .” Worship is more than that. But there’s no denying the importance of music in our lives generally and in worship particularly. Pau
Whatever problems were confronting the Colossians, Paul’s letter to them consistently conveys a sense of joy and gratitude. As we’ve seen, he’s urged them to let the “peace of Christ rule in [their] hearts,” echoing his
We do not live in a peaceful world; it is therefore appropriate to pray for peace, for God’s shalom . As we saw back at the beginning of our study, Paul begins his letter by wishing “grace and peace” for the Colossians.
