Why is Jesus referred to as our High Priest?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is our High Priest because He served as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, interceding for us before God.

Jesus is referred to as our High Priest in Hebrews 4:14-16 and 10:12, underscoring His role as both the mediator and the sacrifice. Unlike the high priests of the Old Testament who offered animal sacrifices, Jesus offered Himself once and for all, securing eternal redemption for His people. His priestly work includes interceding on behalf of believers before the Father, ensuring that we have access to God’s grace and mercy. This intimate relationship signifies that through Christ, we can approach the throne of grace with confidence to seek help in our time of need.
