How do we know Jesus as High Priest is true?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus as our High Priest is affirmed through Old Testament types and New Testament fulfillment, particularly in Hebrews.

The Epistle to the Hebrews lays out a profound theological foundation for understanding Jesus as the High Priest. Hebrews 5:1 states that every high priest is taken from among men to offer gifts and sacrifices, which Christ also did. However, what sets Him apart is His sinlessness; Hebrews 7:26 proclaims that Jesus is holy, harmless, and undefiled. This fulfills the Old Testament requirement for a priest to be personally clean in order to represent the people before God. Thus, the connection between the sacrificial system of the Old Covenant and the sacrifice of Christ is clear, affirming that He is indeed our High Priest, offering Himself once for all who would come to Him in faith.
