Colossians 2:14
Blotting out the handwriting of the ordinances. "The bond"
(Revised Version). That is, the written law of ordinances; the law of
Jewish rites. This was "blotted out", erased, removed.
Which was contrary to us. "Against us" (Revised Version).
Especially in the sense that they made Gentiles aliens and strangers to
the covenant, and without God and hope.
Nailing it to his cross. When the Jews nailed Jesus to the cross
they drove the nails into their own law. The old dispensation was
ended; the blood of the new covenant was shed from the wounds of the
nails.
