<p>6:20 <i>Into which as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek</i>- As noted on :19, it is us who are called to enter the holiest place and God's presence. The Lord Jesus has entered there, but He has done so as a forerunner, whose steps we are to follow. Priestly work is therefore to be our eternal occupation- seeking salvation and blessing for others. He is like the boy who brings the ship's line to shore (&quot;forerunner&quot;), and then guides the ship to dock. But that dock for us is the most holy place, the presence of God personally, when God Himself shall dwell amongst us in the Kingdom of God on earth.</p><p>Here in Hebrews alone in the New Testament is the Lord's simple, human name &ldquo;Jesus&rdquo; used so baldly- not &lsquo;Jesus Christ&rsquo;, &lsquo;the Lord Jesus&rsquo;, just plain &lsquo;Jesus&rsquo; (Heb. 2:9; 3:1; 4:14; 6:20; 7:22; 10:19; 12:2,24; 13:12). And yet it&rsquo;s Hebrews that emphasizes how He can be called &lsquo;God&rsquo;, and is the full and express image of God Himself.&nbsp; I observe that in each of the ten places where Hebrews uses the name &lsquo;Jesus&rsquo;, it is as it were used as a climax of adoration and respect. For example: &ldquo;&hellip; whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus&rdquo; (Heb. 6:20). &ldquo;But you are come unto&hellip; unto&hellip; to&hellip; to&hellip; to&hellip; to&hellip; and to Jesus the mediator&rdquo; (Heb. 12:22-24). The bald title &lsquo;Jesus&rsquo;, one of the most common male names in first century Palestine, as common as Dave or Steve or John in the UK today, speaking as it did of the Lord&rsquo;s utter humanity, is therefore used as a climax of honour for Him. The honour due to Him is exactly due to the fact of His humanity. The juxtaposition of the Lord&rsquo;s humanity and His exaltation is what is so unique about Him. And it&rsquo;s what is so hard for people to accept, because it demands so much faith in a man, that He could be really so God-like. The juxtaposition of ideas is seen in Hebrews so powerfully.</p>
