What does the Bible say about Jesus as our priest?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible teaches that Jesus is the ultimate High Priest who offered one sacrifice for all sins and then sat down, signifying the completion of His work.
According to Hebrews 10:11-14, every priest in the Old Testament stood daily performing sacrifices, which could never take away sins. In contrast, Jesus, after offering Himself as the perfect sacrifice for sins, sat down at the right hand of God, indicating that His atoning work was complete and sufficient. This signifies that He is the sole High Priest and the only mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5). The absence of a chair in the tabernacle reflects the unfinished nature of the Levitical priesthood, whereas the presence of Jesus sitting at God's right hand illustrates the finality of His sacrifice.
