What is the importance of Christ as our Great High Priest?
Answered in 1 source
Christ, as our Great High Priest, mediates between God and man, fulfilling the sacrificial system permanently with His own sacrifice.
The role of Christ as our Great High Priest is essential to the understanding of His work of salvation. Unlike earthly priests who serve temporarily and with limitations, Christ's priesthood is eternal and perfect. He mediates on behalf of His people, having made a once-for-all sacrifice for sin, establishing a new covenant which provides access to God. In Hebrews 9:24, it is stated that Christ entered the heavenly sanctuary to appear for us in God's presence. The assurance that believers have a mediator who perfectly represents them before the Father is a source of great comfort and fosters a deeper appreciation for the grace extended in salvation.
