There are a few things you must know before you start reading the book of Colossians. First, the book is written by the Aposotle Paul to the church in the city of Colossae. Paul has not had the opportunity to meet with this church face to face. His letter is in response to the report of the church given to him by the church planter, Epaphras. Epaphras heard the good news of the Gospel while Paul was teaching in Ephesus and he returned to his home town to share what he had heard and come to believe.
