Yesterday I began to look at the last two verses of Hebrews chapter six. In verses 19-20 we saw the author's words, "This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil, where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek."
Is it not Christ Himself who is our hope? Our Hope has entered within the veil as a forerunner for us. Webster's defines "forerunner" as "one that precedes and indicates the approach of another". Yes, Jesus has preceded us to the holy place but has also prepared our way and indicated our approach. I so much appreciate that thought. We are welcome at the throne of grace and He bids us come. The Father expects us there. Lord willing, in the days ahead we will look more at the high priesthood of our Lord Jesus and this Melchizedek order spoken of.
