How does Christ fulfill the role of high priest in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Christ fulfills the high priest role by mediating between God and man, offering His own life as the perfect sacrifice for sin.

In Hebrews 4:14, Jesus is depicted as the great high priest who has passed through the heavens, emphasizing His unique ability to mediate between a holy God and sinful humanity. Unlike the Old Testament priests, who offered animal sacrifices repeatedly, Christ offered Himself, the Lamb of God, thus establishing a new covenant. His role as high priest also means He intercedes for believers, ensuring their access to God. This understanding of Christ's high priesthood is essential for grasping the fullness of salvation, as it highlights both His deity and humanity, making Him perfectly qualified to represent us before the Father.
