This document provides an overview of the Sabbath School lesson about Christ being our high priest. It discusses how Jesus and Melchizedek were types of Christ as priesthoods. As our high priest, Jesus advocates for us before God, intercedes on our behalf, and is the mediator between God and humanity through the new covenant. The document emphasizes that Jesus' death was the one true sacrifice that can take away sins, unlike the animal sacrifices of the earthly sanctuary service.
