which he opened up for us as a new and living way: By ascending to heaven to present the value of his ransom sacrifice to Jehovah, Jesus “opened up” (lit., “inaugurated”) “the way of entry into the holy place.” (Heb 10:19) Christ Jesus was the first human to ascend from earth “into heaven,” entering by means of “a new . . . way” that no human had ever taken before. (Joh 3:13; Heb 9:24; see study note on 1Co 15:20.) It was “a new and living way” that had not existed previously. This phrase can describe something that does not get old or wear out. Additionally, Jesus described himself as “the way and . . . the life.” That is, he became the means by which others could approach God and gain life. (Joh 14:6 and study note) This “living way” leads to immortal heavenly life for the spirit-begotten members of his congregation.
through the curtain, that is, his flesh: Paul compares “the curtain”—a barrier that separated the Holy compartment from the Most Holy compartment—to Christ’s flesh. (See Glossary, “Curtain.”) Jesus’ human flesh was a barrier because flesh and blood cannot inherit God’s heavenly Kingdom. (1Co 15:44, 50) After God resurrected him as a spirit, Jesus could enter heaven itself—the Most Holy compartment of God’s spiritual temple.—1Pe 3:18; see study note on Heb 6:19.
