Today we come face to face with the false teachers of Colosse who were insisting that in order to be complete Christians, in order to mature, you must become Jewish, observing the various rituals and customs associated with God’s revelation of Himself in the OT.

All the good things to which those rituals and customs pointed, you now possess in Jesus – so don’t be drawn away by those things but understand the mystery of God in Christ!.”
