In this chapter the writer of Hebrews goes through some very closely reasoned logic to essentially say that Jesus is the better high priest, being in the order of Melchizedek. Further, as a result of this status of Jesus, he is the guarantee of a better covenant — and able to save completely those who come to God through him. And so, the writer makes yet one more appeal to the readers not to discard their faith in Jesus.
This verse is a powerful testimony to Jesus’ superiority.
26 For it is indeed fitting for us to have such a high priest: holy, innocent, undefiled, separate from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
Hebrew 7:26 NIV
