NASB | Colossians 2:17 things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Colossians 2:17 Such things are only a shadow of what is to come and they have only symbolic value; but the substance [the reality of what is foreshadowed] belongs to Christ. |
Bible Question (short): Feasts and Sabbath - still observe? |
Question (full): Are the feasts and the Sabbath a shadow of Jesus, and therefore good at showing/helping us to know Him? (ie. Jesus is the body that casts the shadow.) OR, are we to understand (as the NASB adds the word "mere") that the feasts and Sabbath are unnecessary and done away with since Jesus came, He now replaces the feasts and Sabbath because He is our Sabbath rest? I have been searching for some years on the relationship we have with the Law of God given through Moses. Recently I feel I am arriving at a new understanding that contradicts my upbringing. I eagerly desire to understand God’s Word correctly, and therefore I am asking for help in this. Since the topic is far to big to discuss as a whole, I thought asking this one question would at least help me in this one area. Thanks for the help. MJH |
