Colossians 1:1-8

Paul's letter to the Colossian church is all about Jesus. Paul is writing to a church that feels 2 specific pressures. On one hand, there is pressure to conform to a more culturally acceptable, less exclusive spirituality. On the other hand, there are religious legalists who are pressuring the church to follow Old Testament conventions like circumcision and dietary laws. Paul writes to remind this church that everything they need for spiritual maturity has already been given to them in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. He encourages them to remember and celebrate God's grace to them.
