Why is the concept of Christ as both King and Priest important?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's dual role as King and Priest assures believers of both His authority over salvation and His intercession on their behalf.

The significance of Christ being both King and Priest is highlighted through the sermon, demonstrating that He holds both roles perfectly and exclusively. As King, He has authority over our salvation; everything rests in His sovereign hands (Revelation 1:5-6). As Priest, He intercedes for His people, having offered Himself as the once-for-all sacrifice (Hebrews 7:25). This dual role provides believers with the assurance that they are under the gracious rule of their Sovereign while being represented by their Savior before the Father. The harmony of these two roles offers us confidence that our salvation is secure in Christ, as He is fully equipped to mediate between us and God (Hebrews 4:14-16). Together, they reflect the comprehensive work of Christ in our redemption.
