How do we know Jesus is a priest after the order of Melchizedek?

Answered in 5 sources

Hebrews clearly states that Jesus is made a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek, which signifies a change in the priesthood and covenant.

The book of Hebrews provides comprehensive arguments demonstrating that Jesus fulfills the role of high priest in the order of Melchizedek. In Hebrews 7, we learn that Christ was designated a priest by God's oath, contrasting with the Levitical priests, who were appointed based on lineage. This illustrates that Jesus' priesthood is based on His eternal nature and divine appointment, rather than human lineage. His priesthood brings a better hope and reconciles sinners to God, establishing peace through His sacrifice that is perfect and once-for-all.
