“to,”
, “to lead”), denotes “access,” with which is associated the thought of freedom
to enter through the assistance or favor of another. It is used three times, (a) Rom. 5:2, of
the “access” which we have by faith, through our Lord Jesus Christ, into grace; (b) Eph.
2:18, of our “access” in one Spirit through Christ, unto the Father; (c) Eph. 3:12, of the

our faith in Him.” This “access” involves the acceptance which we have in Christ with
God, and the privilege of His favor towards us. Some advocate the meaning
“introduction.”¶

means “to send forward”; hence of assisting a person on a journey either (a) in the sense
