"For Christ entered into heaven itself,

to appear before God as our Friend."

~ Hebrews 9:24 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "Amidst references to priests, tabernacles, sacrifices and other ideas unfamiliar to us, we come to this description of Christ as our Friend. We can relate to this role and be encouraged by it. A friend stands with and stand for; Christ is on our side at God's side. He is our Lord and Savior, but do we also know him as our friend?"
