How do we know Jesus is the true High Priest?

Answered in 5 sources

Jesus is confirmed as the true High Priest in Hebrews 5:5-6, where it states He was appointed by God, fulfilling the necessary qualities of a High Priest.

According to Hebrews 5:5-6, Jesus did not glorify Himself to become High Priest but was appointed by God, a necessary prerequisite for this role. The fulfillment of prophetic scripture, where God declares Him as His Son and as a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek, further solidifies Jesus' position. His humanity equips Him to be the mediator between God and man, aligning with the prophetic words that affirmed His calling. This divine appointment is crucial for understanding the legitimacy of His high priestly role.
