WLC Q. 44. How doth Christ execute the office of a priest? 
A. Christ executes the office of a priest, in his once offering himself a sacrifice without spot to God, to be a reconciliation for the sins of the people; and in making continual intercession for them.

Jesus Christ is the only Priest we need because His sacrifice was once for all and He intercedes forever
