AMPLIFIED 2015 | Colossians 2:16 ¶ Therefore let no one judge you in regard to food and drink or in regard to [the observance of] a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day. |
Bible Question: Why is it that when Jesus was on earth He observed the religious festivals (Matthew 26:16) and yet when He returned to heaven Christians could not observe them (Colossians 2:16)? |
Bible Answer: Greetings! The simplest answer to your question is simply this: Christ did not fulfill the OT Law until He died upon the Cross. Once He died, a New Covenant came into effect, one of grace and not Law. Read Heb. 8-10 for more detail. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
