How do we know Jesus' priesthood is better than the Levitical priesthood?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' priesthood is better because He serves with an eternal oath from God, ensuring His ability to intercede forever.

Jesus Christ's priesthood is superior as articulated in Hebrews 7:20-22, where it is confirmed by God's oath that He is a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. The Levitical priests were many because they died and could not continue, but Christ, being eternal, holds an unchangeable priesthood. This means that He can save completely those who come to God through Him, as He lives forever to make intercession for them. This emphasizes the certainty of salvation through Christ's eternal office compared to the temporary and flawed nature of the Levitical priesthood.
