WORTHY OF MORE GLORY. Hebrews 3:3 The people who read the epistle to the Hebrews were charged, as we are, to think of the superiority of our Lord in His position. His position was not that of a servant, as was Moses. Our Lord Jesus is God the Son. His dignity and holiness surpass those of Moses, who occasionally failed to carry out the directions God gave him. In contrast, our Lord Jesus did "always those things that pleased the Father." God sent the Apostle (Sent One) with a higher purpose than that of leading Israel out of Roman bondage, as Moses led them out of Egypt. Our Apostle was sent to be the Redeemer of all mankind, who made provision for all who will come to God by Him. He is superior in dignity and authority to the highest of all human leaders, including Moses.
Jesus is the builder of the house of God and the family of God. Moses was a part of the household. In both the Old and New Testaments, God’s people are members of His household – those who belong to Him. Moses was a great prophet and leader who we honor because he was a man God used in a special way. However, he was still a human servant, but Jesus is God Himself, who appointed Moses to serve Him.
The building of God is a house not made with hands. Believers are living stones who are built upon the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the foundation, the chief cornerstone of the church. We are rooted and grounded in Him and on Him. Moses was faithful to Israel because he was faithful to God, who appointed him to bring the message of deliverance, mediate between God and the people, and lead them through the wilderness. Despite his faithfulness in so many ways and for so long, he ultimately failed at the end of the journey.
