How is Jesus a High Priest?

This week, the second Sunday of Advent, we explored how Jesus is a high priest, who brings us into peace with God (and each other).

Dr. Crispin Fletcher Louis has been researching and writing on this topic. A basic introduction to his work on Jesus as a King-Priest can be found on an episode of the Bible Project Podcast called “Did Jesus Really Think He Was God?

These ideas parallel the thoughts of the author of Hebrews, and help us understand the second big idea of Advent—in Jesus, God brought us his peace.
