Why is Jesus referred to as our great high priest?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is our great high priest because He mediates between God and humanity, offering Himself as the perfect sacrifice.

In Hebrews, Jesus is depicted as the great high priest who surpasses all previous priests, including Aaron. Unlike the priests of the Old Testament, who were sinners and had to offer sacrifices for themselves, Jesus is sinless and offers His own blood as the ultimate sacrifice for sin. His priesthood is eternal, having entered the true Holy of Holies in heaven, and He intercedes for believers, ensuring that they can approach God with confidence.
