What does it mean that Christ is a merciful high priest?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ's mercy as a high priest means He understands our weaknesses and extends grace to help us.

Christ's role as a merciful high priest is crucial because He is able to empathize with our struggles and infirmities. He was tempted in all points as we are but remained sinless, enabling Him to truly understand the human condition. This merciful aspect of His priesthood reassures believers that they can approach Him confidently, knowing that He is not a distant deity but a compassionate Savior who provides grace and strength in times of need.
