Hebrews 4:14 (ESV) Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.  It is necessary to see Jesus as our Great High Priest who passed through the heavens, so that we can hold securely to our trust in Christ.  First, this verse ties Jesus directly to the OT and the Jewish faith. The religious center of the OT was the Jewish temple and the High Priest. To understand Jesus’ fulfillment as the Great High Priest we need to look at the OT Hight Priest.
