August 28, a day to meditate

As you know, there really isn't an assignment as such for today in the book. So we will use this day to remind ourselves of what we have read this week and think of ways to make applications. No need to do any posting unless you have an "aha" moment and would like to share.

Next week we will start looking at the little parts that make up the whole. That should give us more discussion fodder.

Enjoy your weekend!

Lesson One Day Five

Okay, I am way early but I will be very busy in the morning (first day of school). So here are my answers...

Paul – apostle of Jesus Christ, brother of Timothy (spiritually), writes letter to the church in Colosse, gives thanks for Colossians, prays for them, heard of their faith (later in book we know he has never met them), knows of their love for all the saints, knows Epaphras who is a fellow servant of Paul’s

Those in Colosse – saints, faithful brethren in Christ, loves all the saints, heard the word of truth, gospel came to them by Epaphras, gospel is bringing forth fruit among them

Epaphras – fellow servant, faithful minister of Christ, taught the saints in Colosse, works on the behalf of the saints in Colosse, spoke of the saints in Colosse to Paul and those working with Paul (like Timothy and those at the end of the book)
