Climactically, Jesus’ obedience on behalf of His followers effects a complete purification, such that His followers are made fit to cross not merely the threshold into the Holy of Holies in Jerusalem—which would have itself been an unthinkable privilege—but also the threshold into the Holy of Holies in heaven itself.

– David deSilva, PhD
