There was a priest mentioned in the old covenant who is a type of Jesus. His name is Melchizedek. Heb 7:2 (KJV) says this of him: For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace.

Jesus' priesthood after His resurrection is patterned after Melchizedek and not after Aaron - and this change in priesthood carries great implications for the believer. It means we have an eternal Priest who is at the right hand of God who ministers for us. This means that access to God can never be closed because He (Jesus, as High Priest) ever lives to pray for us. 

There is a revelation behind the name of Melchizedek that attests to the truth of what we have in Jesus.
