These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.

Colossians 2:16-23
Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.
These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.
Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you.
They have lost connection with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments韌帶 and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.
Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.
By his death the Jewish law has been superseded: the shadow has given way to reality. Then why behave as though you were still living the life of the world?
There may be good sense in rules, but they cannot quality or disquality anyone who has found life in Christ.
Why?
False humility: attract humans respective and earn gain from human beings.
Don't let others judge what I am doing, but do the right things.
There are shadow of the things. But the reality is found in Christ.
Connect to the head, Jesus Christ, so the our body may grow up as god causes it to grow.
How?
Don't let my behave like regulation, even my worship on Sunday or daily Bible reading and prayer, may my heart and body grow up as God causes it to grow. Be humble and living with spiritual understanding.
