Day 188, Colossians 2
Paul continues his letter to the church in Colossae with fatherly wisdom and advice. The supremacy of Jesus, and His dwelling in their lives, is far superior to any human wisdom or purported knowledge that false teachers are attempting to foist on them. Jesus is the fullness of God in human form, and our experience of Him is the key to our relationship, not how clever we can appear in our knowledge.
Rules and laws about what to eat or what dates to keep are irrelevant to anyone who has truly encountered Jesus and has Him living in their life. Jesus fulfilled the Law, and His presence in us is what makes us righteous, not our actions or associations.
Those who advocate extra-biblical spirituality or righteousness through self-effort are corrupt purveyors of empty rules and religious rituals. Have nothing to do with them!
Have a great day!
Mark.
