What Was Abolished By Christ [Illustration.] The Veil Rent In Twain. "Having abolished in His flesh ... the law ... contained in ordinances." Eph. 2:15. 1. How did Christ’s death on the cross affect the whole sacrificial system? “After threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off.... And He shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and _in the midst of the week He shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease_.” Dan. 9:26, 27. 2. What did Christ nail to His cross? “Blotting out _the handwriting of ordinances_ that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, _nailing it to His cross_.” Col. 2:14. 3. What did He thus abolish? “Having abolished in His flesh the enmity, even _the law of commandments contained in ordinances_; for to make in Himself of twain one new man, so making peace; and that He might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby.” Eph. 2:15, 16. 4. To what did the ordinances pertain that were thus abolished? “Let no man therefore judge you in _meat_, or in _drink_, or in respect of an _holy day_, or of the _new moon_, or of the _sabbath days: which are a shadow of things to come_; but the body is of Christ.” Col. 2:16, 17. 5. From what statement do we learn that these ordinances related to the sacrificial system? “For the law _having a shadow of good things to come_, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.” Heb. 10:1. 6. What occurred at the time of the crucifixion which indicated that the typical system had been taken away by Christ?
