What does the Bible say about the priesthood of Jesus Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is a better priest, offering eternal redemption unlike the temporary Levitical priesthood.

The priesthood of Jesus Christ is set apart from the Levitical priesthood, which served as a temporary system pointing toward something greater. According to Hebrews, Jesus' priesthood is characterized by an 'endless life,' as He fulfills and transcends the Mosaic Law that was limited by human weakness. Thus, while Levitical priests could only remind people of their sins through ongoing sacrifices, Jesus has obtained a permanent solution for sin by His death, burial, and resurrection, reconciling believers to God and offering them peace.
