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

Answered in 1 source

Christ's priesthood is superior because He offers Himself as a perfect sacrifice once for all, while Aaron's priesthood was limited and contingent upon continual sacrifices (Hebrews 10:10).

The book of Hebrews meticulously presents the superiority of Christ's priesthood compared to that of Aaron. While Aaron and his successors repeatedly offered sacrifices to atone for sins, none of these actions possessed true redemptive power. In Hebrews 10:10, we see that through Christ's sacrifice, believers are sanctified once and for all, as He completed the work necessary for eternal redemption. Aaron's priesthood, marred by human limitations and the inability to atone fully for sin, serves as a type that points to the necessity of a perfect and eternal High Priest. Christ, being both God and man, fulfills all the requirements of the law and provides an everlasting covenant of grace, ensuring that all whom the Father has given to Him will be saved.
