ἀνασταυρ-όω G0388
crucify again, re-crucify (Christ through apostasy or public repudiation)
This verb means to crucify again or afresh. In Hebrews 6:6, it appears in the sobering warning that those who fall away are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. The Spanish crucificando-de-nuevo and German erneut-kreuzigen both emphasize the repetition. Apostasy after experiencing grace is portrayed as a reenactment of Christ's crucifixion—a fresh rejection that puts him back on the cross and exposes him to public shame.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Hebrews 6:6 warns that those who fall away after tasting God's grace are crucifying the Son of God afresh, exposing him to contempt. The term (Spanish crucificando-de-nuevo, 'crucifying again') suggests apostasy amounts to a reenactment of the cross—rejecting Christ after knowing him is equivalent to joining those who nailed him there, making mockery of his sacrifice. 1×
