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

Answered in 2 sources

Christ's priesthood is superior because it is established on the power of an endless life and does not require continual sacrifices.

The superiority of Christ's priesthood over the Levitical priesthood is highlighted in Hebrews 7:15-16. It emphasizes that Christ is a priest after the order of Melchizedek, not based on the law of a carnal commandment, but rather through His divine nature and eternal life. While the Levitical priests had to offer sacrifices repeatedly, Christ offered Himself once for all and sat down at the right hand of the Father, signifying that His atoning work was complete. This fulfilment of the law indicates that His priesthood effectively brings about salvation and communion with God, contrasting with the temporary nature of the Levitical system.
