People's Commentary (NT)
Hebrews 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly. Because our high priest can be
touched by our infirmities.
Unto the throne of grace. The Jewish high priest interceded before
the mercy-seat. We may come boldly to the mercy-seat, knowing that our
loving Elder Brother is our high priest in the heavens. Hence we may
always have confidence when we ask for
grace to help in time of need. The practical lesson of the chapter
is that the True Rest promised remains. It was not the Sabbath day, nor
was it Canaan. It is the heavenly rest of which these are types.
Unbelieving disobedience excluded the Israelites from the typical rest
of Canaan. So, too, it will exclude those who have started to enter
into the heavenly rest if they refuse to hear Christ through unbelief.
The believing Joshua and Caleb entered into Canaan. So, too, the true
and faithful believers who follow Christ will enter into the rest
above.
