Thematic Bible: Ceremonial abolished in Christ


Thematic Bible



in his own flesh he put an end to the feud of the Law with its code of commands, so as to make peace by the creation of a new Man in himself out of both parties,


A previous command is set aside on account of its weakness and uselessness

By saying 'a new covenant,' he antiquates the first. And whatever is antiquated and aged is on the verge of vanishing.


That phrase, once again, denotes the removal of what is shaken (as no more than created), to leave only what stands unshaken.
