Keep your prize

Col 2:16-19
16 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. 17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. 18 Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions, [1] puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind, 19 and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.
Footnotes
[1] 2:18 Or about the things he has seen
  • What are some things today that are mere shadows of what is to come?
  • What is the prize in this passage?
  • Where did the self-abasement, angel worship, and personal visions come from?
  • Why is it so important for you to hold on to Christ, the head of the body?
  • How does the body grow?
