Why is it that Jesus is a supreme high priest? Reflect on Hebrews 7:26-28, “For it was fitting for us to have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners and exalted above the heavens; who does not need daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people, because this He did once for all when He offered up Himself. For the Law appoints men as high priests who are weak, but the word of the oath, which came after the Law, appoints a Son, made perfect forever.” The term eprepen (“is fitting”) appears in both verses. Only in light of Old Testament logic can Jesus make fitting sense. Hebrews is very specifically addressing ceremonial law.
