Yes! He is there for us as High Priest IN PROXY position for us. We do not physically enter there of course, since it is most likely a spiritual dimension, anyway. But the high priest was always in the most holy place AS THE PEOPLE. And if the people did not benefit from it due to lack of faith in the whole concept, he was there doing nothing for them, personally. Similarly when we believe this is real and He is there as us, we enter there by faith which shows in our behaviour being empowered by God due to that faith. This is what I beleive Hebrews means in 6:18 when it says we can enter where our forerunner has entered. And in chapter 10 it says to boldly enter with fulll assurance of faith.
