WEEKLY REFLECTIONS
1. Why does the author, Paul, begin his defense against false teaching by affirming the Colossians’ identity in Christ?
2. What is the significance of circumcision, food laws, festivals, and Sabbath to the early church? How have these been addressed in the New Testament? See: Acts 15, Romans 14, Gal 5:1-12
3. What is the difference between “shadow” and “substance”? How does a shadow and its origin work together?
4. How should we, as Christians, perceive grace and obedience? How do these work together in our lives?
5. How might we, as Christians, be prone to similar mistakes as the false teachers of Colossians 2? How can we avoid repeating their mistake?
