Finding freedom in Christ...
Follow Dr. Jeremiah through the letters of Colossians and Philemon
in a chapter-by-chapter study that will help you understand what it
meant to the people at the time it was written, and what it means to
Christians today.
The apostle Paul may never have visited the small town of Colossae,
located in modern-day Turkey, but he was linked to the congregation
through a coworker named Epaphras. This man came to visit Paul while he
was imprisoned in Rome to deliver troubling news about destructive
teachings that had taken root in the Colossian fellowship. Paul penned a
letter in response, urging the believers to experience the freedom they
had found in Christ, recognize their salvation came through the Lordship
of Jesus alone, and reflect the light of Christ in their lives.
Paul also penned a short personal letter to a Colossian believer named
Philemon, urging him to forgive a slave who had departed from him and
receive him back as a fellow brother. Paul's words in these letters
compel us to remember everything that Jesus has done for us and treat
others as we want to be treated.
