How do we know that Jesus is our King and High Priest?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus fulfills the roles of King and High Priest as foretold in prophecy and demonstrated through His life and resurrection.

The assurance that Jesus is our King and High Priest comes from both Old Testament prophecies and New Testament affirmations. For instance, Jeremiah 33:22 speaks of the seed of David, which is fulfilled in Christ. Hebrews 7 describes Jesus as the eternal High Priest, superior to the Levitical priesthood, having offered Himself as the ultimate sacrifice for sin. This multi-faceted office of King and Priest is consolidated in Christ, who reigns sovereignly and intercedes for His people. His ascension to the throne and His work of redemption prove His authoritative role in both domains, making Him the perfect mediator between God and man.
