Chapter 5 ended with a discussion of milk vs. solid food. That conversation continues into chapter 6, in which we are encouraged to continue on to maturity, graduating past knowledge of simple, elementary truths about Christ. We are called to be "land that drinks in the rain", absorbing the blessing of knowing Him in life-changing ways. We follow Him, are transformed by Him, commit wholeheartedly to Him, and increasingly become able to obey Him and His teaching in our lives.
At the end of the chapter, we again see the picture of Jesus as our High Priest, the one who approaches the Father on our behalf, earning for us that which we could not earn for ourselves. His sacrifice makes atonement for our sins, serving as the "anchor" that secures our standing before a Holy God.
