How do we know the priesthood of Jesus is true?

Answered in 4 sources

The validity of Jesus' priesthood is affirmed through Scripture, particularly in the book of Hebrews, which cites the order of Melchizedek as a divine revelation.

The priesthood of Jesus is affirmed through multiple Scriptural citations, particularly in Hebrews, where it is stated that He is a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. This connection to Melchizedek is crucial as it indicates a priesthood that is eternal and not based on the flawed Levitical system, which was temporary and imperfect. The book of Hebrews explains that Christ's priesthood is established upon better promises and is eternal, showcasing a radical departure from the previous sacrificial systems. Therefore, by God's own declaration, Jesus holds this unique and unchanging priestly role.
