Why is it vital for Christians that Jesus has a priestly role?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' priestly role is vital because He ministers on our behalf, offering His sacrifice and securing our access to God.

The priestly role of Jesus is crucial in the context of salvation and worship. As seen in Revelation 1:5, He 'loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood.' His high priesthood guarantees that we receive mercy and grace when we approach God, as stated in Hebrews 4:14-16. It provides us confidence that He understands our weaknesses and intercedes for us, allowing us to come boldly to the throne of grace to obtain mercy and find help in times of need.
