Colossians 1

Paul writes to the church in Colosse, praising them for the good reports he has received about their faith in Christ. He continues to pray for them, that they would grow in spiritual knowledge and understanding - focusing their thoughts and attention on Jesus Christ in every area of life and living. Jesus' position and power demand that He hold this first place - He who created the earth and sustains it also did a mighty work in their lives. He is worthy of their obedience and service.
