Just as we should understand his opening greeting as meaning much more than “Hi” or “Dear Colossians,” so too should we take his final words as meaning much more than “goodbye.” Paul’s prayer is that the lives of the Colossians would be saturated with God’s grace and peace, and that should be our prayer for ourselves and each other.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/rpMoMN4XvSZIJaJTMFUdsdagrdkDHDj5X9TO6JkXKK0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jYzRj/ZmQ1OGJhNWViZjUw/NTA4NjNmNDQ1YWFh/OGI4ZS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
