How do we know Jesus is our priest according to the Bible?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible identifies Jesus as our great high priest, who offers Himself as the perfect sacrifice for our sins, satisfying God's justice.
In Judges, the figure of Elon serves as a representation of Jesus as our priest. The name Elon means 'mighty' and signifies strength, which is integral to His priestly role. The ultimate priestly sacrifice, as portrayed in the narrative, reminds us that only Jesus, through His offering on the cross, satisfies the wrath of God on our behalf. Hebrews 7:25 affirms that He is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through Him, as He always lives to make intercession for them. Thus, our assurance of salvation and acceptance before God hinges on Jesus’s role as our priest.
