What does Hebrews say about the role of the High Priest?

Answered in 1 source

Hebrews describes the High Priest as one who serves in the heavenly sanctuary, continually interceding for believers.

According to Hebrews 8:1-2, Jesus serves as our High Priest in the true tabernacle in heaven, which God established. His role involves both offering Himself as a sacrifice for our sins and continually interceding for us. Unlike the Levitical priests, who performed their duties in an earthly tabernacle, Christ's ministry occurs in the eternal sanctuary, affirming the permanence of His priestly work. This position means that He is always engaged in ministry on our behalf, making it possible for us to come boldly before God's throne of grace.
