Letters of Ignatius 73

1The priests likewise were good, but better is the High Priest, to whom the holy of holies is entrusted. For to him alone are entrusted the hidden things of God. He himself is the door of the Father, through which Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob enter, along with the Prophets, the Apostles, and the whole Church. All these things come together in the unity of God.

2But the Gospel has a unique preeminence in the coming of the Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ, and in his suffering and resurrection. For the beloved Prophets pointed to him in their preaching, but the Gospel is the fulfillment of immortality. All things together are good, if you believe through love.
