Jesus our Great High Priest


Jesus is our great high priest in a way that is superior to the high priesthood
of the Old Testament because Jesus ministers in heaven itself. We see this in
Hebrews 1:3, which states that Jesus sat down at the right hand of God when
he had made purification for sins (see also 10:12). It is important to
remember that Jesus’ sacrifice is effectual because he did not stay dead, but
was raised to an indestructible life (7:16), and this resurrection life is the
presupposition for the heavenly, priestly reign of Christ. His seat at the right
hand of God is the seat of the victorious conqueror, who has conquered all
his enemies, including sin and death (Ps. 110:1). There is no one who can
provide closer access to the throne of God. He is our “sure and steadfast
anchor of the soul,” our “hope that enters into the inner place behind the
curtain” (Heb. 6:19).
Jesus thus reigns as our great high priest in heaven itself (Heb. 8:1; 9:11, 24).
As our great high priest who makes final atonement for sins, Jesus is fully
human. Yet the same verse at the beginning of Hebrews that tells us of his
ascension to the right hand of God also emphasizes the divinity of the Son:
“He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature”
(1:3a). The power of Jesus as our great high priest to forgive our sins is
therefore keenly related to his divinity as well.
And as the risen-and-ascended, divine-and-human great high priest, Jesus is
a priest forever. He never has to be renewed in his office. He never takes a
break or goes to sleep. Death will never prevent him from executing his
office as priest. He is a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. He
is the royal priest-king whose priestly reign has no end. He therefore is able
to save his people to the uttermost, because he always lives to intercede for
us, and never ceases to provide access to God, blessing us with the benefits
of salvation acquired by his high priestly work (see Heb. 7:23–25)
