		Another letter that was read by the Christians at Laodicea a few years later was Colossians, and it seems that Christian groups in these three cities of the Lycos valley maintained important contacts (Colossians 4:13, 16).
		The letter to the Christian congregation at nearby Colossae (Colossians) also raises concerns about the activities of Christians there, but this time the issue seems to centre not on economics, but on their worldview, especially their view of Christ and other cosmic beings (elemental spirits, authorities, angels).
		We know from inscriptions that there were similar concerns to draw on the protection of angels, the messengers of the gods (or God), among “pagans” and Jews in Asia Minor.

		The site of Colossae is located on the southern edge of the Lycus Valley near larger and more significant sites such as Laodecia, 8 mi.
		Paul evidently never visited the city (Col 1:9; 2:1), but rather his colleague Epaphras brought the gospel message to the three cities of the Lycus Valley, that is to Colossae, to Laodicea, and to Hierapolis.
		Possibly the new, northwest to southeast route, connecting Pergamum to Laodicea and Laodicea to Attalia (Antalya) via Cibyra and Termessos, which bypassed Colossae, reduced its importance.

		It was located on a major trade route and historians report that it was a staging post on the march of armies.
		Paul apparently never visited Colossae but since he spent a long time in Ephesus during his third missionary journey, we can assume that the Gospel was taken to Colossae from Ephesus.
		We can assume that a good strong Gospel teaching had come to Colossae during this time but now, several years, later Paul is in prison (Acts 28:30) and a fellow believer named Epaphras, from Colossae, brings him a report about conditions in the church and Paul writes them this letter.
