How do we know that Christ's priesthood is superior?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's priesthood is superior because He is appointed by God and is eternal, unlike the Levitical priests.

The superiority of Christ's priesthood is affirmed in Hebrews 5, where He is compared to the priests of Aaron's line. Unlike these priests, who were appointed by lineage and required to offer sacrifices for their own sins, Christ was appointed by God, being of the order of Melchizedek. This priesthood is not bound by human lineage and is characterized by eternal capacity to intercede for us. Thus, Christ's role as High Priest serves a perfect and complete salvation, as He offered Himself as the ultimate sacrifice, once and for all.
