What is real in a confused world?
In a world of confused religions and fake spirituality that promise ‘fulness’, Jesus is a breath of fresh air because he shows us what real spirituality looks like. Jesus shows up these ‘human commands and teachings’ which ‘have an appearance of wisdom’ but which ‘lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence’ (2:23). But so much more than that, Jesus rescues us from fake spirituality, from our sin and from Satan’s power, so we can actually find fullness and completeness and new life in him. Jesus shows us:
- True forgiveness
- True fullness
- True spirituality
