    Praise the Lord Beloved. I hope you had a blessed weekend.

     
    God has made known to each of us His love and it’s that love that inspires Paul to write the letter of Colossians. Epaphras, a man who worked with Paul, traveled to Colossae to share the message of Christ’s love and to build a church founded in that love. But, somehow both Epaphras and Paul found themselves confined to prison in Rome. Epaphras shared his story. Upon hearing of the love, the Colossian people had for God, Paul was obligated to write to them. Beloved, it’s this letter that we read in scripture today. Just as Paul was inspired by the testimony Epaphras shared, we should be encouraged by the message Paul shares with the Colossian people. This message of love authorizes us to seek the spiritual wisdom Paul prayed over the Colossians and to lead lives worthy of the Lord.
