Portion Commentary: Holiest Day of the Year Thought for the Week:: According to the writer of the book of Hebrews, Messiah has become our High Priest. He entered into the Holy of Holies in heaven,the actual throne room of God,and applied His own blood for atonement. He entered into the presence of God for us so that He might usher us in as well (Hebrews 9:11,12). Messiah is our High Priest, ,a minister in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle, which the LORD pitched, not man, (Hebrews 8:2). Therein He applied His atoning blood.
