"Epistle to the Hebrews" by John Brown
"Now Jesus is the High Priest of the Christian's profession or acknowledgement. He has done and suffered all that is necessary to obtain for His people the pardon of their sins, free access to God as their God and Father, and the enjoyment of al those blessings which spring from His favour and fellowship. To Him, and to Him alone, they look for these blessings. They do not acknowledge the Jewish high priests; they do not acknowledge the Pagan high priests; they do not look for these blessings either from man or angel, but only from Jesus Christ. The language of their acknowledgement in reference to Him as their High Priest is, "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace." "Through Him we have access by one Spirit unto the Father.""
