What does it mean for Christ to be our high priest in the New Covenant?

Answered in 1 source

As our high priest, Christ intercedes for us and provides direct access to God, emphasizing grace over law.

In the New Covenant, Christ's role as our high priest is significant because it represents direct access to God without the need for earthly mediators. Unlike the Levitical priests who had to perform repeated sacrifices, Christ offered Himself once for all, securing eternal redemption for His people. His high priestly ministry includes interceding on our behalf, highlighting that our acceptance rests fully in His righteousness rather than our works. This access to God is a profound assurance for believers, signifying that we can approach God with confidence, resting in the completed work of Christ.
