Day 2 - The Cosmic Christ of Colossians!
We're just going to get into the background of this wonderful letter a little more today. Colossae is a town about 100 miles east of Ephesus, and is one of the Tri-Cities on Colossae, Laodicea and Hierapolis. What's interesting is that Paul didn't start the church at Colossae, nor did he ever visit there! It was started by a guy whose name was Epaphras, who was one of the leaders of the church of Ephesus, who went on to start the church at Colossae! So it was not a "daughter" church for Paul, it was a granddaughter! And you know how grandfathers LOVE their granddaughters - that's how Paul loved the Colossians!
We'll talk today about some of the heresies there abounded at the church at Colossae as we dig into this wonderful letter. Here's the video:
And here's another song we sing at church, O Praise the Name of the Lord our God. Sing along!
