What makes Jesus' priesthood superior to that of Aaron?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' priesthood is superior because He is both fully God and fully man, and He offers a perfect, eternal sacrifice.

The superiority of Jesus' priesthood over that of Aaron's is highlighted in several respects. First, Jesus is not only appointed as a priest but also as the Son of God, providing an eternal, unchanging basis for His mediation. While Aaron and his descendants were mortal and sinful, Jesus, being sinless and divine, offers a perfect sacrifice. His sacrificial death was not just a temporary atonement; it was a complete, once-for-all offering that fully satisfies divine justice. Therefore, His priesthood brings about eternal redemption and assures believers of a lasting relationship with God.
