As the letter to the Colossians wraps up, Paul once again makes us mindful of the bond in Christ carried by the early church. The names he mentions include traveling missionaries, local members, and people who had come to them. It’s kind of refreshing. In a time where churches in the same town often have some old feud that prevents them from speaking to one another, we can remember that the we are one in the body of Christ, life can look so much better.
