The basis for hatred and stigma is severance. Butchery and obliteration are its main characteristics. If there is division, there can be no development. It is unthinkable to live in peace let alone develop and prosper. Even differences of language, which may be the cause of our intellectual prosperity, lead to hatred; Every time we hear each other’s language, we become filled with hatred.
Amid apostle’s era, the church at Colossae was under attack from false teachers who were denigrating the deity of Lord Jesus. They were deceiving the people implying the Lord as a false teacher but not God.

He presented Lord Christ as the center of the universe, not only as the active Creator but also as the recipient of creation in His taking on of human flesh.

“O Lord, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth,
Who have set Your glory above the heavens!
Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have ordained strength,
Because of Your enemies,
That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.
When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You visit him?
For You have made him a little lower than the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
O Lord, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth!”
