What is the significance of the high priest's intercession?

Answered in 1 source

The high priest's intercession symbolizes Christ's ongoing mediation for believers, emphasizing our security in Him.

The intercession of the high priest was a vital aspect of the Old Testament sacrificial system, representing the mediation between God and His people. In Exodus 39, we see that the high priest bears the names of the tribes of Israel upon his heart, which illustrates how Christ, our high priest, continually intercedes for us before God. According to Hebrews 7:25, Jesus lives to make intercession for those who come to God through Him. This asserts that our security in Christ is unwavering; He represents us perfectly and effectively at the right hand of the Father. The continual intercessory work of Christ provides us with assurance that we are eternally safe and accepted in Him.
