How do we know that Jesus is our representative high priest?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is affirmed as our high priest in Hebrews, where He fulfills the roles and requirements set by the Old Testament sacrificial system.

The New Testament reveals Jesus as our perfect high priest, a position foreshadowed by Aaron and the Levitical priests of the Old Testament. In Hebrews 10:9, it states that Jesus takes away the first (the old sacrificial system) to establish the second (the new covenant). He embodies the roles of prophet, priest, and king, representing us before God, carrying our names and sins into the holy of holies. This means that through His sacrifice, believers are accepted as righteous before God, demonstrating His role as the ultimate mediator between God and man, bringing both atonement and direct access to God’s presence.
