This chapter gives us another picture of the Christian, as God would have him. He is to be separated to God, not having a good time with worldly companions. The Lord Jesus was the only perfect Nazarite; He was always, as a man, “holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from: sinners.” (Hebrews 7:2626For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; (Hebrews 7:26)). As a child of twelve He said to His parents, “Wist ye not that I must be about My Father’s business?” (Luke 2:4949And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? (Luke 2:49)). He was ever the Holy One, as we see in the accounts in all of the four evangelists’ stories of Him—Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Jesus is the believer’s only perfect example.
But separating ourselves from, evil is not to be forever (verses 4, 5, 6, 8, 13), The believer who seeks to honor God, waits for the Lord’s coming when Nazariteship will be forever over. So the chapter closes with blessing, and joy. Separation from whatever we cannot take God into, must be ours now, but soon we shall be with our Lord in His home in the sky.
