The Bible affirms that Jesus holds the position of our High Priest, interceding for us based on His eternal nature and sacrificial work.
Jesus is recognized as our High Priest primarily because He fulfills the requirements of this office as presented in Hebrews 5:5-6. He was appointed by God, not by man, and His sacrifice on Calvary established Him as the final and ultimate priest. His resurrection and position at the right hand of the Father provide ongoing evidence of His high priestly role, as He continually intercedes for believers. This heavenly ministry infuses our prayers with hope and assurance, confirming that He is not only our sacrifice but also our advocate in the presence of God.
