How do we know Jesus' priesthood is superior to the Old Testament priests?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' priesthood is superior because He offers a single perfect sacrifice, unlike the repeated sacrifices of the Old Testament priests.

The superiority of Jesus' priesthood is emphasized in Hebrews 7, where it is stated that He is a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. Unlike Old Testament priests who had to offer sacrifices repeatedly for their sins and the sins of the people, Jesus offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice once for all, accomplishing what the blood of animals could not do. His eternal priesthood and the sufficiency of His sacrifice ensure that those who come to God through Him are saved to the uttermost, providing a perfect and lasting redemption.
