Hey ladies!
I wanted to share some background info for you about Colossians before we jump in to reading this week. The info below comes from my bible :) You may have information in yours too! You can also do a google search for "background info Colossians" if you want to know even more!
Why read this book? - Some people have been surprised to discover something new about a friend they thought they knew well. That's one of the exciting things about a relationship with Christ: There's no limit to the things we can learn about him. Reading Colossians is one way we can discover a few more things about Jesus and learn how we can honor him.
Who wrote this book and to whom was it written? - While under house arrest in Rome, the apostle Paul wrote to believers in the small city of Colosse, located in the southwest interior of what is now Turkey.
When was it written? About AD 60 to 60, during the time Paul awaited trial on an appeal to the Roman emperor Nero.
What to look for i n Colossians: - The supremacy of Christ and what that measn for our everyday lives. Look for insights that show specific ways we can develop attitudes and actions to honor the lord.
Look for discussion questions for Chapter 1 tomorrow! :)
