Who is made; constituted a priest.

Not after the law of a carnal commandment; not with a temporary and inefficacious priesthood, corresponding with the carnal ordinances of the law under which he ministers. Compare, for the meaning of these words, chap Hebrews 9:9-10; Hebrews 10:4.

After the power of an endless life; with an efficacious priesthood, such as belongs to one who has endless life and is a priest for ever, verses Hebrews 7:17; Hebrews 7:25. As Christ has made a full and perfect atonement, and ever lives to make intercession, all should forsake their sins, trust in him, and come to him for grace to help in all times of need.
