The truth of Jesus’ priesthood is confirmed through Scripture, particularly in the book of Hebrews, which cites God's oath establishing His eternal role.
The priesthood of Jesus is confirmed in several passages of Scripture, especially in Hebrews, where it is stated that He is a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews 7 cites God's oath that establishes Jesus as a high priest. This priesthood is different from that of the Levites, as it is founded on an unchanging divine promise rather than the temporary, imperfect service of earthly priests. Furthermore, the resurrection of Christ serves as a powerful confirmation of His eternal priesthood, as He lives forever to intercede for His people. The continuity and unchangeability of His priesthood reflect the perfection of His redemptive work.
