How do we know that Christ is our eternal High Priest?
Answered in 1 source
The eternal nature of Christ's priesthood is confirmed by Scripture, particularly in Hebrews, which contrasts it with the temporary Levitical priesthood.
The assurance of Christ being our eternal High Priest is rooted in the book of Hebrews, especially Hebrews 7:11-17. This passage argues that due to the change of the priesthood from the Levitical order, necessitated by the imperfection of the law, Christ emerges as the High Priest of a new order after Melchizedek, characterized by the power of an endless life. This shift signifies that Jesus, being without sin and everlasting, can fully mediate between God and humanity. Therefore, believers have an unwavering high priest who continuously intercedes for them, ensuring their salvation.
