Jesus Christ was appointed Priest by the Father.
`The LORD (Father) has sworn...:You (Lord Jesus) are a Priest forever...` (Ps. 110: 4)
It was a new order of priest different than the Aaronic priesthood. There were many High priests under the Aaronic order but there is only one great High Priest. Each High priest in Israel succeeded the other, with many weaknesses, but we have a High Priest, `Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever.` (Heb. 13: 8)
The Aaronic Priesthood was established for a nation, whereas Christ`s Priesthood is for all mankind, it is universal. He is the one mediator between God and man. (1 Tim. 2: 5)
`We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a minister of the sanctuary...` (Heb. 8: 1)

`Behold, a throne set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; ...`(Rev. 4: 2)
The gem stones indicate the High Priest`s garment. Christ however is High Priest because of His Holy Character and Mediatorial work between God and man.
