Many Christians associate the king-priest concept with Jesus, as He is enthroned at God's right hand and interceding for His people. This isn't incorrect, but Jesus is the singular King-Priest precisely as God's true Image-Son - as True Man. For the regal-priestly function is the human vocation, as God created man to administer His rule in His creation and mediate the creation's relationship with Him. Thus Jesus' role as King-Priest is the role of all who share in His consummate human life by His Spirit, and so is fundamental to the Church's vocation in the world.
