Consequences that flow from Jesus' being the Great High Priest.
We can confidently enter God's presence.
"Make use of the open way"

v22
We need to draw near to God with an open heart. because Jesus' Blood has covered our sin. God wants to know each of us personally.
Baptism is an outward expression of this.
We draw near to Him through prayer, meditation and quiet contemplation of Scripture.
Busyness is an enemy of closeness to God.
'Do you really intend busyness to stand in the way of the unintterupted reign of God in our lives?
What are you achieving with your busyness?

v23
We need to hang on with both faith and hope.

vs 24-25
We need to be together.
