How do we know Christ is our High Priest?

Answered in 26 sources

Christ is acknowledged as our High Priest through His unique sacrifice and divine appointment, fulfilling the priestly role established in the Old Testament.

The New Testament clearly establishes Christ as our High Priest, as seen in Hebrews 4:14 and Hebrews 5:5-10. Unlike the Levites who served in the Old Testament, Christ's priesthood is eternal and operates not in an earthly sanctuary but in the heavenly realm. His priestly work, which includes offering Himself as the perfect and final sacrifice for sins (Hebrews 9:26), demonstrates His authority to mediate our relationship with God. Additionally, His role is affirmed by the typology of Aaron and the priestly garments; as detailed in Exodus, these garments symbolize the attributes and works of Christ, illustrating His glory and beauty as our mediator.
