Meaning & Notes

Athetesis means a cancellation or setting aside. Hebrews uses it twice with great weight: 'there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before' as the old order gives way (Hebrews 7:18), and Christ appeared 'to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself' (Hebrews 9:26). The word announces the gospel: what the law could not cancel, the cross has put away.
