Nailed to His Cross Paul stresses the need for ongoing Faith to the Colossian believers, as well as the need to stay established in the truth. Both Jews and Essense were influencing this church to consider the aesetic practices of neglect of the body and observance of the externals of the ceremonial Law of the Old Testament for righteousness. Paul explains that such things have been removed out the way and nailed to the cross with Jesus our Messiah. In this message we also address the misunderstanding of Paul's words regarding obeserving sabbath days. This he clearly meant in relation to the other laws he listed which were all celemonial and exterior in nature. ALL Feast days had associated sabbath rests which were in no way related to the Sabbath day declared Holy by God on the 7th day of Creation and the 4th commandment of the Law. Blessings!
