New High Priest under the New Covenant
"You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek." (Psalm 110:4)
The author of Hebrews gives an exposition of Psalm 110:4 from Chapter 4 verse 14 through the end of Chapter 7. He then takes this exposition and connects Melchizedek with the New Covenant of Jeremiah 31 from Chapter 8 verse 1 through the end of Chapter 10.
This full exposition and connection should be read in its entirety.
The clear take away:
Jesus Christ is the New High Priest under the New Covenant!
