How do we know Christ is our perfect High Priest?

Answered in 1 source

Christ fulfills the role of our High Priest by offering Himself as the perfect sacrifice for our sins, unlike Aaron, who needed to make atonement for his own sins.

Jesus Christ is our perfect High Priest, wholly fulfilling the office by being sinless and offering Himself as the ultimate sacrifice for sin. In contrast to Aaron, who needed to first atone for his own sins, Christ's perfect obedience and sacrifice grant Him the authority to intercede for us without requiring any further offerings. As seen in Hebrews, He embodies the characteristics of a High Priest who is holy, harmless, and separate from sinners, which underscores the complete sufficiency of His atonement for all who believe.
