Christ's priesthood is eternal as described in Hebrews 7, where it affirms He is a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
The eternal nature of Christ's priesthood is affirmed in several scripture passages, particularly in Hebrews 7:17, which states, 'You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.' This signifies not only the unending nature of His intercession but also the perfect and complete sacrifice He offered once for all. Unlike the Levitical priests, who served in a temporal role and needed to offer sacrifices repeatedly, Christ's offering of Himself as the Lamb of God was sufficient for the atonement of sin. His resurrection and ascension to the right hand of the Father underscore His active and continuing role as our high priest, ensuring that believers have perpetual access to God through Him.
