Our reality is a Shadow of things to come

Colissians 2
16Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.

The reality is Christ. Rest in that.  The reality is Christ.  We don't have to worry whether what others are doing is correct or Christian-like.  We don't have to make up rules to prove we are Christians.  We just need to follow Christ; to strive to be now like Him every day. Christ wants each of us to be us...but with our focus on Him.  

So, what one person believes they should do, may not be what another thinks they should do. That is okay, and it is okay according to God! Isn't  it interesting that we decide people must do this or that our say certain things or follow certain things before we are comfortable with their salvation!  Wow! Did you just see what I wrote? Until we are comfortable with their salvation. 

This scripture verse not only teaches us that we have the right, the obligation, to follow the Holy Spirit about what we think is right for us to do or not do, but it teaches us we don't have the right to judge others. That business is between God and them, just like our business is between God and us. 

So..."mind your own business" as my parents used to say. That doesn't mean I am not watching to see if someone needs help or a shoulder to lean on,  but it does mean I withhold judgment about their spirituality. It is not my place to judge. Do you really want them to judge you?
