Hebrews 10:21 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 10:21

And [having an] high priest over the house of God.
] The church of God, over which Christ is as prophet, priest, and King, and as the Son and owner of it; (See Gill on Hebrews 3:6); (See Gill on Hebrews 4:14). In the Greek text it is, "a great priest"; so the Messiah is called by the Targum on ( Zechariah 6:12 ) (br Nhk) , "a great priest", as he is; even a great high priest, as in ( Hebrews 4:14 ) , and greater than Aaron, and any of his sons.

Hebrews 10:21 In-Context

19 So, brothers and sisters, we are completely free to enter the Most Holy Place without fear because of the blood of Jesus' death.

20 We can enter through a new and living way that Jesus opened for us. It leads through the curtain -- Christ's body.

21 And since we have a great priest over God's house,

22 let us come near to God with a sincere heart and a sure faith, because we have been made free from a guilty conscience, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.

23 Let us hold firmly to the hope that we have confessed, because we can trust God to do what he promised.
