It seems the above sentence implies "context" use within a communication. This appears a safe assumption, since "context" is used in archeology as a way to reference a location of discovery (physical location). On the other hand, computer science uses "context" as a reference to the circumstances under which a device operates, however this more commonly is referred to as context awareness.
It seems, the most common usage of "context" happens in communication. In this form of usage, it relates to the message meaning communicated within a statement or written sentence and from a particular relationship it has with things within the environment, physical objects, as well as the individuals personal perception, which surrounds the idea they are trying to communicate.
I'm well aware, this may come as confusing, so here are some further examples of "context" used within dialogue sentences that are similar to the one you gave above.
Lisa: "How did you interpret the play and how that guy became a minister?"
Charles: "For me, it was a context of love, which allowed him to grow as a person and minister."
This example refers to a personal perception and how he felt the loving environment that the minister grew up in, contributed to the ministers growth as a person.
Lydia "So, what did you think of the movie?"
Mike "For me, it was a context of pure entertainment."
In this example, reference is made to a movie and entertainment, therefore giving the idea that the movie was entertaining in relation to Mike's personal perception.
Hope this helps and feel free to ask me any other questions you may have.

Hello Abed,
The "context " here might refer to the conditions and circumstances that are relevant to an event, fact, etc.
You better write the whole sentence for a better definition of context here.
