By his death, Christ blotted out "the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us (by our inability to fully keep the law), and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross...Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink (offerings), or in respect of a religious festival, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: which are a shadow of things to come; but the reality is Christ" (Col. 2:14-17 A.V. with N.I.V.). This is quite clear - because of Christ's death on the cross, the Law was taken "out of the way" so that we should resist any pressure put on us to keep parts of it, e.g. the feasts and the sabbath.
Kwa kufa kwake Kristo aliifuta ile hati iliyoandikwa ya kutushitaki kwa hukumu zake (kwa kutoweza sisi kushika vizuri torati)….. akaiondoa isiwepo tena, akaipigilia misumari msalabani……. Basi, mtu asiwahukumu nyinyi katika chakula au vinywaji (kutoa dhabihu), au kwa sababu ya sikukuu ya mwandamo wa mwezi; au sabato mambo haya ni kivuli cha mambo yajayo; Ukweli wenyewe ndiye Kristo" (Kolos 2:14-17 U.V na B.H.N). Hapa ni wazi kabisa - kwa sababu ya Kristo kufa msalabani, Torati "aliiondoa" ili kwamba tusishindane na mkazo wowote uliowekwa yetu kwa kushika sehemu yake k.m sikukuu za sabato.
