What does it mean that Christ is both King and Priest?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's dual role as King and Priest signifies His authority to mediate between God and humanity.

The significance of Christ being both King and Priest lies in His unique capability to bridge the gap between a holy God and sinful humanity. As a Priest, He offers Himself as the ultimate sacrifice, fulfilling the requirements of the law, while as a King, He governs His kingdom with authority and love. This dual role, exemplified by Melchizedek in Hebrews 7, emphasizes that Christ's authority is both spiritual and practical, overseeing the spiritual needs of His people while being involved in their earthly lives. For believers, this means that they have direct access to God through Christ, who intercedes for them and leads them in righteousness.
