The Greatness of Christ in Hebrews (2)—A Greater Glory

For He has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by how much he that has built it has more honor than the house. For every house is built by some one; but He who has built all things is God.
Hebrews 3:3–4 ???

The Greatness of Christ in Hebrews (2)—A Greater Glory
Moses was one of the greatest personalities found in the Old Testament Scriptures. He was revered by the people of Israel, though they were rebellious to him while he was living. He received the Law from God through the mediation of angels and was himself the great mediator of the nation (Gal. 3:19).

One of the outstanding attributes of Moses, coming from the lips of God Himself, was that he was faithful (Num. 12:7). Christ is compared to Moses here in Hebrews in that they were both “faithful” (Heb. 3:2). However, the comparison stops there, and a great contrast between Moses and Christ is then presented. Yes, Moses was faithful in God’s house—none would dispute it. But the Lord Jesus Christ is counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, for He built the house. Christ has “built all things” and thus is God (v. 4). This is one of the clearest statements of Christ’s divinity in the Bible. It is the same view as Hebrews 1:1–3 where Christ is seen as the One who “made the worlds.” We should notice that “for He” is emphatic in the original—a grammatical form for emphasis—meaning, “for He above all.”

Indeed, Christ is not only greater than Moses but also greater than the prophets and angels (Heb. 1); greater than Adam (ch. 2); greater than Joshua (ch. 4); greater than Aaron and his sons (chs. 5–10); greater than the heroes of the Old Testament (ch. 11); greater than Abel and his blood (ch. 12); and finally He is greater than the Temple and city of Jerusalem (ch. 13). In light of these things, and as “partakers of the heavenly calling,” we ought to “consider” our Apostle and High Priest (3:1). May He be our occupation today and every day!

BROKENNESS

In your relationship with God, one place you need to get to is the place of brokenness. To be broken is to have some form of injury that makes the object less than a whole. In spiritual parlance, it is to break or subdue the flesh in order to be more profitable to the kingdom of God. Why do you need to be broken?...More
