  4. Sacred Sunday~Colossians, Chapter 4/We Need to Pray
Welcome to Sacred Sunday! Today we are reading Colossians Chapter
4. We Need to Pray. Aside from keeping a household structure that's
totally conformed with 1st-century Roman life, what else are
Christians supposed to do? Well, pray. Thank God in prayer. And
pray that Paul gets out of prison soon. Seriously, the food in the
slammer is terrible. They also need to be smart when it comes to
non-believers. A Christian certainly can't deny the truth about
Jesus, but that doesn't mean he or she has to stir up trouble. In
other words, pick your battles very carefully. Friends of Yours,
Paul? Paul is sending along this letter with his friend Tychicus
(you may remember him from such biblical letters as Ephesians).
He's gonna give the Colossians all the updates on Paul. No worries.
Tychicus is also coming with Onesimus (you'll also see his name in
the Epistle to Philemon). Aristarchus sends his best wishes from
lock up. Barnabas's cousin, Mark, does, too. Jesus (who people call
Justus, probably so he doesn't get confused with the way more
important Jesus in Paul's life) also says hi! These three dudes are
Jewish-Christians, and Paul's been really glad to have them around.
Epaphras, who's a Gentile-Christian, is hanging out, too. He's the
one who founded the church in Colossae, so he's really hoping
things work out there. Luke and Demas say howdy, too. Paul wants
them to pass along his best to everyone in Laocidea. Especially
Nympha (she hosted church in her house). Once this letter has made
the rounds in Colossae, they can send it onto the churches in
Laodicea. Everyone gets a taste of Paul's goodness. Paul ends the
letter by signing his own farewell. He tells his readers to
"remember my chains." Not as catchy as kthxbai, but it's totally
Paul's style.
