What does it mean that Christ is a Priest forever?

Answered in 3 sources

Christ being a Priest forever signifies His eternal intercession for His people and His unending role in the covenant of grace.

The assertion that Christ is a Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek, as stated in Psalm 110 and Hebrews 7:17, emphasizes His eternal and unchangeable priesthood. Unlike the Levitical priests, who were multiple and had to die, Christ is immortal and continually intercedes for His people at the right hand of God. This ensures that His work as Mediator and Advocate is perpetual. His eternal priesthood provides believers with a strong consolation and assurance that they have a forever High Priest who remains attentive to their needs and offers ongoing grace, making His priesthood both relevant and vital for our faith in the present and future.
