Implications for Life Today

• Christ Jesus is the Absolutely Trustworthy Representative of the Father’s Revelation and Redemption.

• As Apostle, Jesus is God’s single messenger giving us God’s mind, and as High Priest Jesus is God’s single intercessor serving before the Father as our daysman (go-between). • Typological interpretation, therefore, is largely a procedure of understanding how to contrast and compare Christ and the facts of the Hebrew Scriptures. • Christ Jesus serves his Father as a Faithful Representative to give stewardship and care over God’s house, whose house we are if we continue to hold fast our confidence and hope to the end.
