In the context of Hebrews, this conjunction ties the assurance of faith to the reality of Christ's priesthood, emphasizing the continuity of God's plan from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant. we have a high priest over the house of God Persons / Places / Events 1. High PriestIn the context of Hebrews, Jesus Christ is identified as the High Priest. This role is significant because it connects the Old Testament priesthood with the New Covenant, emphasizing Jesus' unique and eternal priesthood. 2. House of God This term refers to the spiritual household of believers, the Church. It signifies the community of faith that Jesus oversees as the High Priest. 3. Hebrews The letter is addressed to Jewish Christians who were familiar with the Old Testament laws and priesthood, providing them with a deeper understanding of Christ's fulfillment of these roles. Teaching Points Understanding Jesus as Our High PriestJesus' role as High Priest is central to our faith. He intercedes for us and provides a direct connection to God, unlike the temporary and imperfect priesthood of the Old Testament. The Significance of the House of God As members of the house of God, believers are called to live in unity and holiness, reflecting the character of Christ in their lives. Confidence in Our Faith Knowing that Jesus is our High Priest should give us confidence in our relationship with God. We can approach Him with boldness, knowing that our sins are forgiven. Living as a Spiritual Community The concept of the house of God emphasizes the importance of community. Believers are encouraged to support and encourage one another in their faith journey. Perseverance in Faith The assurance of having Jesus as our High Priest should motivate us to persevere in faith, even amidst trials and challenges.(21) An high priest.--The Greek words properly signify a great priest (comp. Hebrews 4:14), which is one of the names by which the high priest is frequently designated, both in the Hebrew (Leviticus 21, et al.), and in the LXX. It may seem strange that the writer should here make use of a new word in the place of that which has occurred so frequently. But there is strong reason for believing that the language of one of the prophecies of Zechariah (Zechariah 6:11-13) is here before his mind. In the preceding verses (Zechariah 6:12-14) he has used words which united sacerdotal and kingly imagery; and it would be remarkable if this did not lead his thought to that prophecy. On the head of Joshua, "the great priest" (Zechariah 6:11), are placed crowns of silver and gold in token of royal dignity: then follows the prediction of Him of whom Joshua was the type. "He shall build the house of the Lord: and He shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon His throne; and He shall be a priest upon His throne." In the verse before us are combined several of the characteristic thoughts of that passage--the great priest, the priestly ruler, the house of God. The last-mentioned words are repeatedly used throughout the Old Testament, both in the Pentateuch and in later books, for the Tabernacle or Temple of God. In Hebrews 3:6 (to which there is a manifest allusion here) the meaning is enlarged, but only so that under "the house" is also comprised the household of God. Here the two thoughts are combined. Into the house of God we may enter; over it Jesus rules as "the great Priest." The family of God subject to His rule includes the whole community of "the people of God" in heaven and upon earth.
