Today is the start of the so-called holy week in other religion. During this week several people will commemorate the passion of Jesus Christ who died on Friday. One of the tradition that they do during this time is severe treatment of the body. But friends the Bible has something to say about this.
These are matters which have, to be sure, the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence. (Colossians 2:23, NASB)
It is clear in this passage that there is no value in doing harsh treatment of the body. We should remember that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and we should take care of our body.
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, (1Cor, 6:19, ESV)
God bless everyone!
