21. But Christ became a priest with God’s oath. God said:“The Lord has made a promiseand will not change his mind.‘You are a priest forever.’” Psalm 110:4
22. So this means that Jesus is the guarantee of a better agreement from God to his people.
23. Also, when one of the other priests died, he could not continue being a priest. So there were many priests.
24. But Jesus lives forever. He will never stop serving as priest.
25. So he is always able to save those who come to God through him. He can do this, because he always lives, ready to help those who come before God.
26. So Jesus is the kind of high priest that we need. He is holy; he has no sin in him. He is pure and not influenced by sinners. And he is raised above the heavens.
