And what he's grateful for is that this gospel work is taking place among the Colossians.
Look at what he says in chapter 1, verse 5 and following.
What is the word of the truth?
The gospel.
The gospel which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and growing, as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth, just as you learned it from Apophras.
He says, this gospel came to the Colossians.
They learned it, heard it, understood this gospel that was accomplished in Christ Jesus.
And this gospel truth, the grace of God and truth were told in chapter one, verse six, which was received rather than acquired, bought or grabbed has transformed them.
leading them to faith in Christ Jesus, the love for all the saints.
But what is amazing is that this gospel continues to be at work, not because of our faithfulness or giftedness, but because of its own power.
Notice that the subject that is at work is the gospel itself.
The action is taking place where the gospel has come to you.
The gospel is bearing fruit and it continues to grow.
I wonder how this sounds to a smallish city Christians in a struggling place, a church that was never founded by a famous person.
The church in Colossae was not founded by Paul.

But here, seemingly insignificant group of people sitting and receiving this letter from Paul.
They're separated from the rest of the world and believers, to be honest.
They had no TVs or internets or emails for them to actually take a look at to find out whether they belong to a greater group of people or not.
But yet the greatest apostle writes to them and reminds them, this same gospel I proclaimed elsewhere has come to you.
