HEBREWS 4:14-5:8
The last 3 verses of Hebrews 4 turns from having established that Jesus the Great Redeemer has entered into God’s presence and into His present work, having gone before us as forerunner (see Hebrews 6:20. He is forerunner of the Heavenly Calling to His Body of believers.) He had “finished” His work of being the Great Apostle (sent one) to this World. (John 19:30) Jesus being our Great Deliverer from the world was typed by Moses being the lesser Deliverer (sent one) to deliver the people from Egypt. And now Paul continues on and exhorts us through the 6th chapter and 3rd verse to labor that we might also enter into God’s future heavenly calling. That is to say, the Promised Land of His Redemption “Rest”. And so Paul leads us to the great subject of the necessity of His Priesthood… “Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens… (That is to say that He passed through the heavens unto the realm of the 3rd Heaven where He is currently seated at the right hand of the Father. Using the typology of the Temple, the outer court is typed in the 1st heavens associated with this world, and the Holy Place is typed as the 2nd heavens and the Holiest Place or Holy of Holies is typed as the realm of the 3rd Heaven wherein the Father resides with Christ at His side as High Priest. As our intermediary, He intercedes for us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

…Jesus… (the Son of Man and) the Son of God, Let us hold fast our profession (confession). For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” (It is not enough that He, as our LEADER, has brought us out of the kingdom of darkness. For we are not yet clear of satan in this “wilderness”. We are yet subject to his fiery attacks, for he once was our master. And he is more powerful than we, seeing also that he has a dry kindling ally in our camp; which is our own fallen nature.) “…seeing then that…” (great need of sympathetic understanding and a representative before our God to address the accusations of our great adversary) “….we have a great high priest…” (greater than Aaron’s temporal earthly priesthood. As what is Aaron’s priesthood in comparison to that of the Son of God’s Priesthood, Whose priesthood covers all the heavenly places to intervene for us? For this great eternal Priesthood He was appointed, in that although He was tempted in all points as we, yet He was without sin. We are His, and He is ours. In that He became the acceptable unblemished offering for sin, unto Priesthood. (He then set aside the Old Covenant, as is seen symbolically in the high priest rending his clothes (Matthew 26:65), and upon His offering Himself on the Cross; the two earthquakes, the rending of the Temple veil from top to bottom, and out of the grave came those to witness of Him. See Matthew 27:50-55 and 28:2.)

Paul carries our thought from 4:14 through 5:11 from the deliverance from the kingdom of darkness and begins to lay out the deeper things of God’s Word. One deeper thing being that attentive faith should progressively then carry the believer into spiritual maturity, such as the understanding that “…every high priest taken from among men is ordained (appointed) for men in things pertaining to God, that he might offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins: who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way… And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he has said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee….Who in the days of his flesh (while alive on the earth) when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered… This being no correction, as in an ordinary son, whose tendencies are unto disobedience, but to the Son of God, Creator and Sustainer of all things…never having to bow to a superior’s command. He never had a will other than that of perfect harmony with the Father’s. Now as the Son of Man, He was willingly put in circumstances...
