28th Hebrews
3 Superior to Moses
1:
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider
the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; 2: Who
was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in
all his house. 3: For this man was counted worthy of more glory than
Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour
than the house. 4: For every house is builded by some man; but he
that built all things is God. 5: And Moses verily was faithful in all
his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were
to be spoken after; 6: But Christ as a son over his own house; whose
house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the
hope firm unto the end.
The
writer to the Hebrews builds his thinking point by point. Here he
says, because of what l have previously said, l want you - holy
brethren (Israelites). You who are designated to be partakers of the
heavenly calling, (The Messianic Kingdom) to consider ‘The Anointed
One’ ‘The High Priest of our confession’ – Christ Jesus. He
was faithful to the one who called him – just as Moses was, who was
faithful in his house. Christ has much more glory than that which
Moses had, because the person who builds the house is more honourable
than the house. Every house is built by someone, but the one who
built everything is God. Moses was a faithful servant in the house
but Christ is the Son and Heir of the house and we (Hebrews) will
belong to his house if we hang on believing and rejoicing in the hope
of the Kingdom of heaven to the end.
