Hebrews 10:21

21 The "curtain" into God's presence is his body.

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, friends, we can now - without hesitation - walk right up to God, into "the Holy Place."
20 Jesus has cleared the way by the blood of his sacrifice, acting as our priest before God.
21 The "curtain" into God's presence is his body.
22 So let's do it - full of belief, confident that we're presentable inside and out.
23 Let's keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word.
