Commentary on Hebrews 6:202 voices
THE Jewish high priest went within the veil once a year and represented the people there, but he was never their forerunner, for no one followed him into the Most Holy Place. His entrance within the veil did not admit another human being—and when he came forth, the veil again concealed the secret glories of the Most Holy Place even from him for another year and from all others at all times—so that neither Aaron, nor any other high priest of his line could ever be called a forerunner within the veil.
Charles Spurgeon· The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Sermon No. 3102: “The Forerunner” (lightly modernized text, CCEL edition), 1908
A forerunner used to be less in dignity than those that are to follow him. But it is not so here; for Christ who is gone before us is infinitely superior to us. What an honour is it to believers, to have so glorious a forerunner, now appearing in the presence of God for them.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, 1755Evangelical
