Verse 1
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
The heavenly calling — God calls from heaven, and to heaven, by the gospel.
Consider the Apostle — The messenger of God, who pleads the cause of God with us.
And High Priest — Who pleads our cause with God. Both are contained in the one word Mediator. He compares Christ, as an Apostle, with Moses; as a Priest, with Aaron. Both these offices, which Moses and Aaron severally bore, he bears together, and far more eminently.
Of our profession — The religion we profess.
