What does the ascension tell us about Jesus' role as our High Priest?

Answered in 1 source

The ascension underscores Jesus' role as our High Priest, who intercedes for us before God.

The ascension significantly emphasizes Jesus as our Great High Priest. After offering Himself as a sacrifice for sin, He ascended back to heaven to present His finished work to the Father. This is akin to the actions of the high priests in the Old Testament who, after making atonement, would pronounce blessings over the people. Christ's ascension signifies the completion of His redemptive work, and His continuing role as Intercessor, ensuring that believers have an advocate before the throne of grace, as outlined in Hebrews 4:14-16.
Scripture References: Hebrews 4:14-16, Luke 24:50-51
