Where is home for you? Is it your parent’s house, favorite coffee shop, or 1-bedroom apartment?

Or is it a person or a people? Who is home for you?

When I think about God and the Christian’s place in His story, I think about what that means for our lives if we are believers. The story of God (and, in turn, us) really is about returning to a place and a person—one that should be familiar yet is sometimes lost on us as people.

Romans chapter 3 says this:

How heavily do you identify with the Gospel?

Is it so much that your life, words, and actions declare it?

Have you prepared within an authentic church community and in unceasing prayer to reach others with the Gospel?

Do you share the Gospel explicitly regularly, or have you ever shared your salvation story?

Paul, the author of Romans, seems to live and breathe the Gospel (the Good News of Jesus Christ)—unceasingly bringing it up whenever he gets the chance, unwaveringly holding fast to it, and perpetually giving its gift to anyone he can.

Let’s discuss the book of Colossians a bit: who wrote it, why they wrote it, when they wrote it, and who and where the Colossians were.

Here are apostle Paul and his disciple and fellow minister of the Gospel, Timothy, writing a letter to the Colossians. Paul and other ministers like Timothy took the Gospel to different places, as Jesus told the original disciples and effectively all of us to do: the Great Commission, to go out into all the world, teaching them to obey all that Jesus commanded and baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.

That resulted in new Christians in places like the city of Colossae—likely reached by Paul & Timothy’s fellow minister, local leader and disciple of Paul, Epaphras. Essentially, Epaphras has been keeping his brothers in Christ updated on how things are going in his church plant in Colossae, and his brothers’ response to him is this letter to the Colossians.
