Why is Jesus called a Great High Priest?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is called a Great High Priest due to His unique divine and human nature and His perfect sacrifice for sin.

Jesus is termed a Great High Priest due to His unparalleled nature as both God and man, as well as the perfect atonement He made for our sins. Unlike the old covenant priests, who were simply human and had to offer sacrifices for their own sins, Jesus, being sinless, doesn't need to do so. His position at the right hand of God and His ongoing intercession for us supports His designation as our Great High Priest, who understands our weaknesses and sympathizes with our struggles.
