10:21
We have a great high priest over the house of God. Jesus is our great high priest, one who is far better than all the Levitical priests. He is over the house of God. There is no need to look anywhere else, nor for anything else. Indeed, to do so is to deny Christ.
10:22
So we can draw near to God, and indeed we should and must do so. And we can do so with a sincere heart. We have no need to fear that we do not have the right to approach God, and to entertain such thoughts is to deny the work of Christ. “And with full assurance that faith brings”. It is our trust and confidence in the work of Christ that enables us to have this full assurance. We are cleansed from a guilty conscience. Our conscience tells us that we are guilty of sin, and so we are, but our faith tells us that Christ has paid the price of our sin in full. We are totally clean.
