How do we know Jesus is a superior priest to Old Testament priests?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is superior because He is sinless and offers Himself as a perfect sacrifice once for all.

The book of Hebrews clearly contrasts Jesus with the Old Testament priests, showing that whereas they sacrificed animals repeatedly, Jesus, as the perfect High Priest, offered Himself once for all. Hebrews 9:11-12 states that Christ entered the heavenly sanctuary with His own blood, securing eternal redemption for us. The Levitical priests had to make sacrifices for their own sins first; in contrast, Jesus, being sinless, is able to save completely those who come to God through Him.
