The "new" way contrasts with the old covenant under the Mosaic Law, which required repeated sacrifices and rituals. The "living" way signifies that this path is dynamic and eternal, unlike the temporary and lifeless nature of the old sacrificial system. This new way is characterized by a direct relationship with God, made possible through Jesus' resurrection, which ensures that He is alive and continually interceding for believers.

This new way is characterized by life, as opposed to the death associated with the old sacrificial system. Access to God Believers now have direct access to God through Jesus, without the need for an earthly mediator. This access is a privilege that should be approached with reverence and gratitude. The Body of Christ The "curtain of His body" signifies that Jesus' physical sacrifice is the means by which the barrier between God and humanity is removed. Understanding the significance of Jesus' bodily sacrifice should deepen our appreciation for His work on the cross. Living Faith The "living way" calls believers to a dynamic and active faith, continually drawing near to God. This faith is not static but involves ongoing growth and transformation. Community of Believers As we have access to God, we are also called to encourage and support one another in this new way. The community of faith is essential in helping each other remain steadfast in the journey. Parallel Commentaries ...
