Colossians |
In the New Testament, Colossians is an epistle written, according to
the text itself, by Paul the Apostle. The epistle addresses the church in
Colossae, a small Phrygian city near Laodicea and approximately 100 miles from
Ephesus in Asia Minor. Colosse is in the region of the seven churches of
Revelation 1-3. In Colossians 4:13 there is mention of local brethren in Colosse,
Laodicea, and Hierapolis. Colosse was approximately 12 miles from Laodicea and
14 miles from Hierapolis.
Members of the congregation at Colosse had incorporated pagan elements into
their practice, including worship of elemental spirits. Paul declared Christ's
supremacy over the entire created universe and exhorted Christians to lead godly
lives.
