RE: SUNDAY REFLECTION: THE CHALICE, THE HOST, AND THE PEACE I FOUND TODAY.
Amen....Jesus understood it perfectly, so He kept it.
Col. 2:16 is about feast days, never The Sabbath. Read the context of Col 2. And Acts 20:7 just said they met after the sun set on Sabbath. Never made the day holy.
Look at it this way....Sabbath was instituted along with marriage before sin entered the world. (Genesis 2) If Jesus fulfilled the laws written against us (Col. 2), that would mean marriage and sabbath were sinful. Which they aren't.
I hope you don't mind the little back and forth. I'm just always interested in how people view this topic. No disrespect intended.

I don’t mind the back and forth at all 😊 I actually appreciate the respectful discussion.
I see your point, but I think Colossians 2:16 deserves a closer look because Paul explicitly says “a festival, a new moon, or a Sabbath” — so it’s difficult to say it refers only to feast days.
And with Acts 20:7, regardless of exactly how we understand the timing, Luke clearly says the believers gathered on the first day of the week to break bread.
I also agree that marriage and the Sabbath are not sinful. But Genesis 2 doesn’t actually use the word “Sabbath” or give a command to keep a Sabbath; that command is given explicitly later in Exodus 20.
So I think there’s still room for us to examine the Scriptures from both sides. 😊🙏🏽
