How do we know the identity of Jesus as our high priest?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is our high priest because He fulfills the role as the mediator of a better covenant established on better promises.

We know Jesus is our high priest because, according to Hebrews 8:6, He serves as a mediator of a better covenant, one that surpasses the old covenant made with Israel. The Levitical priests were limited and temporary, but Jesus, coming from the tribe of Judah, embodies both kingship and priesthood. His perfect sacrifice, His own blood, offers us eternal redemption—a privilege that the earlier priests could not guarantee. He also fulfills the prophetic promise, as His ministry in heaven provides us direct access to God, ensuring that through Him, we are counted as His people.
