Shadows vs Substance
Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
How many people have been slaughtered for these causes? How many dis justices have been committed due to misunderstanding these shadows. A shadow isn't anything but a reflection of something. Everything of its make up is found in the object by which it is cast from. Light forms the shadow. Now, everything in the Old Testament of holy significance is just a shadow. The substance is Christ. All the organized religious system of Judaism is summed up in Christ. Without Jesus, one is just chasing shadows at best.
This example hits home for me. When I see my wife and her shadow, I don't kiss the shadow! Why do men chase after shadows when the substance is where it is at?
