  4. Sacred Sunday~Colossians, Chapter 2/Pauline Prison Blues
Pauline Prison Blues Prison is fine, but it's not a total cakewalk.
Go figure. It's mostly a bummer because Paul can't get out to see
any of his fellow Christians. He has to settle for writing letters.
Luckily, he's pretty good at that. Paul wants all his Christian
friends to know that the key is Jesus. He's the source of all God's
wisdom and knowledge. He might not be physically present, but
Paul's there with them in spirit. Time for a Clean Slate Just keep
living lives in Christ and everyone will be fine, says Paul. Paul
warns them not to be swayed by false teachers who swoop in with
their fancy theories and lead nice Christians astray. Human
traditions and ideas don't mean anything. It's the stuff that God
tells us that really matters. The Christians in Colossae used to be
non-believing Gentiles. That means they weren't circumcised like
Jewish guys. They knew and understood God through Jesus, not
through thousands of years of Jewish law, scripture, and
traditions. After Jesus died, God didn't worry so much about all
the laws and traditions that he had made such a big deal about
starting way back in Exodus. God took those rules and the sins of
the world and he nailed them to that cross with Jesus. Watch Out
for False Teachers. They also shouldn't panic about what foods they
eat, or which festivals they celebrate or what they should and
shouldn't be doing on the Sabbath. God  just wants everyone to
put their faith in Jesus.  Besides, if Christians are dead to
the world, then why would they need to worry so much about all the
worldly things they're doing? No bacon? No work on the Sabbath? No
touching unclean things. They think they're being holy when they do
these things, but in reality, following these rules doesn't have
any effect on a person's heart, says Paul. Sorry, law-lovers.
