Hebrews 4:14-15 ESV
Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
Jesus passed through the heavens in His coming and going for us. He came by the Spirit, took on the form of man to bring us into the heavenly realms. He entered our death so that we might enter His life. He laid down His life willingly for us and looks for us to do the same for Him. The transaction for salvation requires a sacrifice on both sides and uses the currency of love in the exchange.
God so loved the world that He gave Himself to save whoever believes in Him. He seeks those who so love Him they will do the same. Love crosses the great chasm between God and man. We are joined with God and man in the power of that love.
