Gospel Template Today's Verse "For this reason, since the day we heard it, we have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God's will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may lead lives worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, as you bear fruit in every good work and as you grow in the knowledge of God." – Colossians 1:9-10 | | | God has made known to each of us His love and it is that love that motivates Paul to write the letter of Colossians. Epaphras, a man who worked with Paul, journeyed to Colossae to share the message of Christ's love and to build a church founded in that love. Somehow both Epaphras and Paul found themselves imprisoned in Rome. Epaphras shared his story. Upon hearing of the love the Colossian people had for God, Paul was compelled to write to them. It is this letter that we read in scripture today. Just as Paul was inspired by the testimony Epaphras shared, we should be inspired by the message Paul shares with the Colossian people.This message of love empowers us to seek the spiritual wisdom Paul prayed over the Colossians and to lead lives worthy of the Lord. - Commentary by: Matthew J. Elliott | | Today's Prayer Father God, show us what we can learn from the Colossian church and empower us to apply it to our lives. As we endeavor to lead lives worthy of You, give us guidance and help us understand this love more. Amen. | | | If you haven't checked out our Patreon site yet, why not do that today.
