What does the Bible say about Jesus as the forerunner?

In Hebrews 6:20, Jesus is referred to as ‘the forerunner’ who has entered within the veil, which represents His entrance into the heavenly sanctuary on our behalf. This concept is rooted in the Old Testament practice of the high priest entering the Holy of Holies to offer sacrifices for the people. However, whereas the high priest entered as a representative, Jesus enters as our forerunner and high priest, having secured eternal redemption through His own blood. His presence in the heavenly realm signifies that the victory over sin and death has been won, offering believers assurance and hope.
