How do we know Christ's priesthood is superior?

Answered in 11 sources

Christ's priesthood is superior because He was appointed by God, without sin, and offers eternal salvation, unlike the temporary sacrifices of Aaron.

The superiority of Christ’s priesthood is underscored in Hebrews 5, where it explains that He was called by God and not by man, making His priesthood divine and eternal. Unlike Aaron, who had to make sacrifices for his own sins before he could mediate for the people, Jesus was sinless and able to offer Himself as the ultimate sacrifice without any need for atonement for His own actions. This establishes Him as a perfect mediator who is not only able to intercede on our behalf but has also made us perfectly righteous through His sacrifice, ensuring eternal salvation for those who believe in Him.
