"We have such a High Priest" to maintain us consistently with all that God is and loves as fully revealed, and with Christ's work already wrought and perfect, to sustain us in our weakness, to sympathize with our every trial and pang. His position declares His unique and incomparable dignity, His intimate nearness to God in glory. His seat is at "the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens."
There has Christ taken His seat. It is calm and permanent intimacy where no believer can dispute the greatness and the power and the glory any more than the love and tender interest and unfailing support.
He is "Minister of the Holies." It is the house of heavenly worship and divine glory in its fullest reality and grandeur. Therein Christ ministers according to the nicest consideration of the living God, as the sole Person suited to Him and to us equally and in perfection, true God and real man, who obeyed unto death (yea, of the cross), that God's honor should be retrieved and His love meet with a love like His own who died for our sins when we were as powerless and ungodly, and thus again proved divine love to the uttermost no less than holiness and righteousness. Such is the Minister of the Holies, that God in the heavens and the saints on the earth should be adequately conciliated, even in the time of our present infirmity and exposure to temptation. [19]
