THE KEY
The Greek word for “enter” contains the word for “way,” presenting access to the holy as a path opened through Jesus’ blood.
THE MEANING
You have confidence to enter God’s holy presence through Jesus’ blood. The way is open to you now; you are not held at a distance.
WHAT THIS UNDOES
The belief that God’s holy presence is closed to you is undone: this verse gives you confidence to enter through Jesus’ blood.

THE PATTERN
Access to God’s presence is pictured as an open route through which people can come near.
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.THE THREAD
By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;The next verse names this access as a “new and living way.” Its Greek word for “way,” ὁδός (hodós), is the same root within εἴσοδος (“entrance”) here: the path into the holy places is opened through the veil, identified as his flesh.
