Hebrews 3:1

Verse 1. The … high priest of our profession. That is, of the faith we confess, or profess. Christ is also here called our apostle, that is sent by his Father. Witham.—Jesus Christ is not only our apostle, he is the doctor, the legislator of the religion we profess. He is our high priest, who offered himself in sacrifice for the sanctification of his Church, and who is now exercising at the right hand of his Father the office of the priesthood in our behalf, both in heaven and on earth. We here see our dignity: we have a God for the apostle and high priest of our religion.
