Jesus, the Christ: Priesthood of: Appointed and Called by God

Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, set your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.

He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.

No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was.

So also Christ did not take upon Himself the glory of becoming a high priest, but He was called by the One who said to Him: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.”
