"Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession." Hebrews 4:14. We can hold fast because Jesus is our high priest. We can continue in the Christian faith because Jesus is our high priest. God has made it so that we can continue to fight and overcome. Burdens will come, but Jesus is our high priest. Satan will assualt us, but Jesus is our high priest. Jesus is a great high priest for he does not serve in our behalf upon the earth, but has passed into the heavens. In the clouds, he ascended unto his heavenly Father, and took his place at the right hand of the throne of God. From that throne, he makes intercession for us. He continually offers his blood as the remedy for all sin. With that blood, he sealed the covenant that declares him as our high priest. His priesthood is greater and far superior to any that existed prior to his being seated on the throne of the Almighty. That throne upon which he sits is established forever. His priesthood is an unchangeable priesthood. None will succeed him. Jesus, the Son of God, is our high priest from now until time shall be no more.
