I was absent on friday, but i did the reading. I was confused as to who were the Colossians so I looked it up and found that they were people from the ancient city of Colossae in Southwest Asia Minor. In the Colossians Paul seems to be praising the Colossians for believing in and following Jesus. He wants them all to be certain that they know jesus is God’s son and therefore an extension of Him. If they please Jesus they please God.

Paul also seems to be boasting about himself. He follows Jesus’ gospel and spreads his word. He talks about how he suffers for their sake in order to do this.  He has become a servant to God’s church.
