Daily Bread - Oct 11 2006

Colossians 2:14 - "Wiping out the certification of indebtedness, the opinions that were set against us and raised it from the midst nailing it to the cross."

The Greek word ‘exaleipho’ may be translated wiped out or destroyed. It first appears in the Septuagint in Genesis 7:4 when God revealed to Noah that he was going to destroy all of the inhabitants of the earth. It translates the Hebrew word ‘machah’ which means to erase, wipe out, or destroy. The Hebrew word ‘machah’ also translates the primary Greek word for ‘forgiveness’ in the New Testament ‘aphesis.’

Blessings,
