What does the Bible say about Christ as our priest?

In Hebrews 4:14-15, we learn that Jesus Christ is our great high priest who empathizes with our weaknesses, having been tempted as we are, yet without sin. This establishes His unique qualification to intercede on our behalf. Unlike the Old Testament priests, whose sacrifices could not take away sins, Christ’s sacrifice—His own body and blood—was sufficient for eternal redemption. He offered Himself once for all, making Him the only true mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5). His priesthood is eternal and unchangeable, fulfilling the role that all previous priests only foreshadowed.
