Where you find this verse
From this verse, the Word reaches
In contrast toHebrews 9:24
Aaron was forbidden to enter the Most Holy Place at all times on pain of death, while Christ enters heaven itself to appear in the presence of God for us.
“For Christ hasn’t entered into holy places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;”
That reaches back to this verse
In contrast to (this verse)Hebrews 4:16
Once even the high priest entered the Most Holy Place at the risk of death; now all may draw near with boldness.
“Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need.”
