What does the Bible say about the role of Christ as our High Priest?

The role of Christ as our High Priest is pivotal in understanding Christian salvation. Unlike the earthly priests who had to offer sacrifices for their own sins, Christ was sinless and His sacrifice was perfect. He offered Himself as the final sacrifice, fulfilling the law's requirements and making reconciliation between God and His people possible. This is beautifully illustrated in Hebrews 7:27 where it says, 'Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.' In doing so, Christ not only fulfilled the duties of a High Priest but also secured eternal redemption for those He represents.
