In today's scripture Paul is writing
to believers in the small city of Colosse, now in Southwest Turkey. Paul was under house arrest. In Colosse there was a group called Gnostics
who claimed they possessed privileged information necessary for salvation. Their practices were a combination of
Christian, Jewish and maybe even pagan beliefs.
Paul wrote to warn against false teachings. Paul intended to make clear the nature Jesus'
deity and authority. In verse 28, Paul
says “He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with
wisdom.” So let us keep reading,
studying, praying, growing and learning Jesus' teachings.
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, Help us to remember to
keep our eyes on the prize. Humans will
fail us but you will never let us down.
