Why is Christ's priesthood significant?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's priesthood, after the order of Melchizedek, signifies His eternal and unique mediation between God and humanity.

The significance of Christ's priesthood lies in its eternal nature and its unique role as mediator. Psalm 110:4 states, 'You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.' Unlike the Levitical priests with temporary roles, Christ's priesthood does not have a beginning or an end. He serves as a perfect mediator, offering Himself as the ultimate sacrifice for sin, reconciling believers to God. This priesthood assures us that we can approach God without any earthly intermediary, emphasizing that every believer has direct access to the Father through Christ.
