How do we know Jesus is the true High Priest?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus is described as the true High Priest in Hebrews 7:24-25, where it states His priesthood is unchangeable and eternal.

Jesus' role as the true High Priest is established in the book of Hebrews, particularly in Hebrews 7:24-25, which asserts that He has an unchangeable priesthood. Unlike the Levitical priests who were mortal and could not continue their service due to death, Jesus lives forever and continually intercedes for believers. His priesthood is based on the power of an indestructible life, which affirms His divine nature and authority. This is significant because it conveys that through Christ, we have permanent access to God and assurance of salvation, as He can save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him. His priesthood is rooted in His sacrifice, which was sufficient to atone for all sins, making Him our perfect mediator.
