V. 20.— Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec, Christ, the great object of our hope, has, in the character of our forerunner, entered within the vail, thus taking possession, as it were, on our behalf, of the heavenly inheritance, and giving us the assurance of being with Him. He is gone to prepare a place for His people, and He says, "And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." John 14:3. Having offered an all-sufficient sacrifice, and being brought again from the dead through the blood of the everlasting covenant, He has entered into the most holy place with His own blood, as the glorious head and representative of His body the Church. He is made forever a high priest after the order of Melchisidec.
