Heb.7&8
Jesus is a high priest because he was appointed thereto by God, the father. He is a high priest by virtue of his indestructible life. As such, Jesus is a high priest forever, and he is a guarantor of a better covenant. Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. He has no need to offer sacrifices daily, since he offered up himself once – a perfect sacrifice.
Jesus, you are my high priest. You are seated at the right hand of the throne of the majesty in heaven. You are a minister in the holy places, in the true tent, the one the Lord set up, not man. Jesus, my Lord, you have a ministry that is much more excellent than the old priesthood, as the covenant you mediate is better since it is enacted on better promises. In this covenant, you are my God and I know you! You are merciful to me and remember my sins no more.
