What does it mean to have Jesus as our Priest?

Answered in 1 source

Having Jesus as our Priest means He intercedes on our behalf before God.

Jesus as our Great High Priest signifies that He represents us before God, bridging the gap between a holy God and sinful man. As the priest, He intercedes for us and advocates for our needs in the heavenly realm. This role is crucial because it confirms that we cannot approach God on our own merit; we require His mediation to be heard. Believing in His priestly role assures us of forgiveness and access to God's grace (Hebrews 4:14-16). Thus, understanding Jesus as our Priest not only emphasizes our dependency on Him but also the completeness of His work of redemption.
