Welcome to Colossae

We live busy lives in a busy world. There’s this temptation to compartmentalize life in terms of the secular and the spiritual. So, we speak of making time for Jesus or adding Jesus to an already full schedule. The early church faced similar temptations. There was this distorted thinking that they could add Jesus to their religious traditions, their cultural practices, and their belief systems. These destructive ideas diminish Jesus’ deity and chip away at his authority. Paul wrote Colossians so the church would accurately understand who Jesus is. He is supreme. He is sufficient. He is all in all. Jesus is the center of all things.
