But Christ being come, &c.— The apostle here begins to set forth the superiority of our High-priest, by shewing that, in respect to his priestly office, he has no concern with mundane, secular, worldlymatters, but is wholly engaged with future good things for his people. Christ did not pass into the holy of holies, as the Jewish high-priest, nor indeed did he pass through any tabernacle made with hands; but he went into a greater and more perfect tabernacle,—even into heaven itself. The high-priest was wont to pass through the outward part of the temple, in order to get into the holy of holies. Christ went into the true holy of holies through a more excellent and perfect tabernacle, and therefore not of this building. He did not use a golden censer, or any worldly instruments; nor did he enter by means of the blood of goats and calves, but by means of [δια,] his own blood; and he entered once for all into the true holy of holies: nor was this done to obtain an annual remission of sins, but aneternal redemption for all his faithful people: nor has he occasion often to repeat or renew what he has done; but, once for all, he has accomplished for ever all that he aimed at in his great work of atonement.
