    Reconciliation is already settled in Christ; believers are called to remain grounded in that hope, endure suffering with meaning, and labor without anxiety.

    Before we move into the text itself, I want us to slow down and picture where this letter is going. Colossae was not Rome. It was not Jerusalem. It was not Corinth or Ephesus. Colossae was ordinary. It was a small town in the Lycus Valley. It used to matter more than it did by the time Paul ...read more
