We can enter God"s presence through Jesus" crucified flesh as though we entered the holy of holies through the torn temple veil ( Matthew 27:51). This is an example of a thing (i.e, the veil in the temple) being a type of another thing (i.e, Christ"s flesh). [1] His sacrifice provided a new and living way compared with the old now dead way of the Old Covenant. The way is not Jesus Himself, in the sense of John 14:6, but the way He opened for us through His death. [2][source]
"The way to God is both "new" and "living." It is "new" because what Jesus has done has created a completely new situation, "living" because that way is indissolubly bound up with the Lord Jesus himself. [source][source][source]
The "living" way also connotes the fresh, vitalizing realities of the New Covenant. [3][source]
"The author is saying in his own way what the Synoptists said when they spoke of the curtain of the temple as being torn when Christ died ( Matthew 27:51; Mark 15:38; Luke 23:45)." [4][source]
