The first section of this book was theological and developed the superiority of Christ by His eternal priesthood over the Mosaic Law and Rabbinic Judaism. This section of the Book to the Hebrews moves beyond the facts of Christ’s superiority and begins an application section beginning with the topic of faith. The writer is working here in the text to appeal to the Jewish people in the first century church to not to go back into rabbinic Judaism and the Temple legalistic practices, but to place their faith in the work of Jesus of Nazareth.
Because of our Lord’s death on the cross on our behalf, we can enter in to the most holy place because of the blood of Jesus. In other words, we have free access to God. This is not the earthly Holy of Holies in the Temple or Tabernacle, but the heavenly one. In a very unique manner believers are blessed with being in the same situation that Melchizedek, the Old Testament High Priest was. New Testament believers in the death and resurrection of Jesus have more than just access they also have boldness. Additionally, this access provides us with the freedom to verbally express the innermost thoughts of our hearts to God by means of Messiah’s blood.
