Berean Standard Bible

“where Jesus our forerunner has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”

Hebrews 6:20

Save as image

Study note

The author uses the image of an anchor to describe the hope believers have in God's promises. This hope enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, into God's very presence.
