SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:21
y teniendo aquel Gran Sacerdote, sobre la casa de Dios,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Hebrew 10:21
Verse 21. A high priest over the house of God] The house or family of God is the Christian Church, or all true believers in the Lord Jesus. Over this Church, house, or family, Christ is the High Priest-in their behalf he offers his own blood, and their prayers and praises; and as the high priest had the ordering of all things that appertained to the house and worship of God, so has Christ in the government of his Church. This government he never gave into other hands. As none can govern and preserve the world but God, so none can govern and save the Church but the Lord Jesus: He is over the house; He is its President; he instructs, protects, guides, feeds, defends, and saves the flock. Those who have such a President may well have confidence; for with him is the fountain of life, and he has all power in the heavens and in the earth.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 21. And [having an] high priest over the house of God .] The church of God, over which Christ is as prophet, priest, and King, and as the Son and owner of it; (see Gill on Hebrews 3:6); (see Gill on Hebrews 4:14). In the Greek text it is, a great priest; so the Messiah is called by the Targum on ( Zechariah 6:12) br hk , a great priest, as he is; even a great high priest, as in ( Hebrews 4:14), and greater than Aaron, and any of his sons.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 19-25 - The apostle having closed the first part of the epistle, the doctrin is applied to practical purposes. As believers had an open way to the presence of God, it became them to use this privilege. The way an means by which Christians enjoy such privileges, is by the blood of Jesus, by the merit of that blood which he offered up as an atonin sacrifice. The agreement of infinite holiness with pardoning mercy, wa not clearly understood till the human nature of Christ, the Son of God was wounded and bruised for our sins. Our way to heaven is by crucified Saviour; his death is to us the way of life, and to those wh believe this, he will be precious. They must draw near to God; it woul be contempt of Christ, still to keep at a distance. Their bodies wer to be washed with pure water, alluding to the cleansings directed unde the law: thus the use of water in baptism, was to remind Christian that their conduct should be pure and holy. While they derived comfor and grace from their reconciled Father to their own souls, they woul adorn the doctrine of God their Saviour in all things. Believers are to consider how they can be of service to each other, especially stirrin up each other to the more vigorous and abundant exercise of love, an the practice of good works. The communion of saints is a great help an privilege, and a means of stedfastness and perseverance. We shoul observe the coming of times of trial, and be thereby quickened to greater diligence. There is a trying day coming on all men, the day of our death.
