Sadly, a journey in the wrong direction begins exactly the same way. That is the danger Paul addresses in Colossians 2:16\u201323. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Colossian believers were being bombarded by voices insisting that Christ alone was not enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some promoted Jewish ceremonies and dietary laws. Others boasted of visions, angelic experiences, and extraordinary spiritual encounters. Still others trusted in strict rules and severe self-discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paul&#8217;s answer is simple and powerful: hold fast to Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The apostle reminds us that the food laws, festivals, new moons, and Sabbaths of the Old Testament were never intended to be ends in themselves. They were shadows pointing to a greater reality. The reality is Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Passover pointed to the Lamb of God. The tabernacle pointed to the presence of God dwelling among his people. The Sabbath pointed to the rest that Christ gives to all who trust in him. The signposts were glorious, but they were never the destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paul then turns to those who claimed to possess a deeper, more spiritual form of Christianity. They pursued visions, ascetic practices, and experiences that seemed impressive, but they had neglected the most important thing: they had lost their grip on Christ, the Head of the church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spiritual maturity does not come from rituals, mystical experiences, or self-made religion. It comes from Christ himself, who nourishes, unites, and grows his people through the ministry of his church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, Paul warns against the temptation to trust in rules. Human beings love regulations because they are measurable and manageable. Rules can change behaviour for a time, but they cannot change the heart. They may restrain the flesh, but they cannot conquer it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only Christ can do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The world says, &#8220;Try harder.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">False religion says, &#8220;Do more.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mysticism says, &#8220;Experience more.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Legalism says, &#8220;Obey more rules.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Christ says, &#8220;Come to me.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The work is finished. The victory has been won. The shadow has given way to the substance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whatever voices may be competing for our attention, Paul&#8217;s instruction remains the same today as it was two thousand years ago:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hold fast to Christ.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keeping on track in the cacophony of competing voices Every journey begins with a single step.
