Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through…His flesh,…let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith” (Heb. 10:19-22)

Perfection in every respect is attained through the service of our great High Priest in the heavenly sanctuary.

This is the “new and living way” which Christ “consecrated for us”- for all mankind-by which every soul may enter into the holiest of all.

This new and living way He “consecrated for us through His flesh.” Coming in the flesh, identifying Himself with mankind in the flesh, He has consecrated a way from where we are to where He now is, at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens.

Having been made in all things like unto us and having been tempted in all points like as we are (Heb. 2: 14; 4: 15), He has identified Himself with every human soul just where that soul is. And from the place where every human soul is, he has consecrated for that soul a new and living way through all the vicissitudes and experiences of a whole lifetime, and even through death and the tomb, into the holiest of all, at the right hand of God forevermore. “For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren” (Heb. 2:11).

Oh that consecrated way! Consecrated by His temptations and sufferings, by His prayers and tears, by His holy living and sacrificial dying, by His triumphant resurrection and glorious ascension, and by His triumphant entry into the holiest of all, at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens.
