Better Than Moses (Hebrews 3:1-6)
Bob Schultz, October 18, 2015Part of the Book of Hebrews series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
This week we will study Hebrews 3:1-6 as the writer compares and contrasts Jesus with Moses. This passage is interesting for the Jews of the first century had a misplaced passion for the OT prophets, priests, and mediators. Throughout the book, the writer is making the case that Jesus is truly better than anything that they could consider from the Old Covenant.
Hebrews 3:1–6 (Listen)
3:1 Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God’s house. 3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. 4 (For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.) 5 Now Moses was faithful in all God’s house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, 6 but Christ is faithful over God’s house as a son. And we are his house, if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.
