After stating that Jesus Christ was a High Priest that was able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, He then describes the difference between Christ as the High Priest and the descendant of Aaron. Christ is holy. This word is not the typical word for holy, but is between holy and righteous in meaning as in He was right with God. Remember Aaron made the golden calf. His priesthood was not because he was right with God. Christ is not evil. Aaron led the people into idolatry with the golden calf and then he tried to control God later in the incident with Miriam. Christ was undefiled. All of the high priests that descended from Aaron were just sinners that needed their sins to be forgiven. Christ was separate from sinners. When Moses set up the tabernacle of the congregation outside the camp, Joshua went out there and never left. That is not the picture that we have of Aaron. Christ was made higher than the heavens. Christ ascended from the dead to sit at the right hand of the Father, while Aaron ended up in the grave. Christ as a high priest could sacrifice Himself for us, because He is not like Aaron and his descendants. They always had to make sacrifices for themselves, but Christ had no need to sacrifice for Himself. The priests established by the law were weak, not like the one established by an oath.
