Hebrews 4:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Hebrews 4:14

12 For the word of God is ^aliving and powerful, and ^bsharper than any ^ctwo-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is ^da discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

13 ^aAnd there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are ^bnaked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

Our Compassionate High Priest

14 Seeing then that we have a great ^aHigh Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, ^blet us hold fast our confession.

15 For ^awe do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but ^bwas in all points tempted as we are, ^cyet without sin.

16 ^aLet us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
