Colossians

The Epistle Of The Colossians, like the letter to the Ephesians and the Philippians, was written in Rome during Paul's first imprisonment. Colosse, about 100 miles east of Ephesus, had never been visited by the apostle. The church there may have been founded by Epaphras, who, with many others, had probably been converted during Paul's three year ministry in Ephesus. Someone had come to Colosse who taught an alluring but dangerous philosophy ultimately known as Gnosticism, the basis of much heretical teaching even today. No passage in the N.T. more fully sets forth the eternal glory of the pre-existent, omnipotent, exalted, and eternal Son of God than 1:15-23.
