If earlier he presented this High Priest, Jesus, as “faithful” (3:1-4), now he offers him one of his most compelling titles: “compassionate.” In Jesus, God’s compassion reaches its highest expression. He is divine compassion made man. He has experienced our human condition because, like us, “he has been tested in every way, except sin” (15). Now that he sits, glorious, in the court of grace, we could not have a more excellent and compassionate mediator. The preacher invites us to come to him with confidence to always find his mercy and help.
