10:19-20 What is the new and living way by which one can enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus?
By His sacrificial death Jesus has opened up a way for believers into the presence of God that was not possible under the old covenant.
It is a new way because it was only possible under the new covenant, and it is a living way because Jesus lives for evermore, seated at God's right hand to make intercession for believers (CP Jn 14:6 with Eph 2:14-22; He 7:19, 24-25).
"Through the veil, that is to say His flesh", refers to when Jesus died on the cross, the veil in the earthly tabernacle that symbolically separated men from God's presence split in two, signifying that the way was now open for all who believed in Christ to have direct access to the throne of God, to obtain mercy and grace in their time of need (CP Ex 26:31-35; Lev 16:15-17 with Mt 27:50-51; He 4:14-16; 9:7, 11-12).
