How do we know Jesus is our High Priest?

Answered in 25 sources

Hebrews 7:24-25 assures us that Jesus is our High Priest who has an unchangeable priesthood and is able to save those who come to God through Him.

The concept of Jesus as our High Priest is elaborated in Hebrews 7:24-25, which states that Jesus has an unchangeable priesthood, meaning His priestly role is eternal and secure. Unlike the Levitical priests who had to offer sacrifices daily for their own sins and the sins of the people, Jesus offered Himself once for all, fully satisfying the requirements of God’s holy justice. His ability to save those who come to God through Him is not temporary; as He ever lives to make intercession, His priesthood is one of complete assurance and efficacy for believers. Thus, we find great comfort in knowing that our relationship with God is mediated by the perfect, sinless High Priest who understands our weaknesses.
