Jesus is identified as our great High Priest by fulfilling the requirements of the law and offering a perfect sacrifice for sin.
Jesus' role as our great High Priest is confirmed through His unique fulfillment of the law and His perfect sacrificial offering. In Hebrews 10, it is stated that the law serves as a shadow of good things to come and cannot itself perfect the worshippers through sacrifices. However, Jesus, when He came into the world, said, 'Lo, I come to do thy will, O God.' By offering Himself once and for all, He perfected forever those who are being sanctified. His completed work establishes a new covenant, allowing believers to draw near to God through faith, rather than through the futile works of the law. This reinforces His identity as the eternal High Priest who intercedes for us.
