JESUS GREATER THAN MOSES

READ: Hebrews 3:1-6
Have you and your friends ever argued over who the best player on a team was? For example, is Brett Farve or was Reggie White the best player on the Packers? Well, that’s what was happening during the time the book of Hebrews was written. People were questioning Jesus’ authority and were arguing if He was greater than Moses.

The Bible writes about this topic saying that Jesus is greater than Moses because He is God’s Son and Moses was just a faithful servant of God, not His only Son.

Then it talks about how the builder of the house is worthy of greater honor than the house itself and how every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. This is saying that Jesus, who is God, is the maker of everyone which includes Moses, for he was just a mere man. This is very important, for if Jesus was not greater than Moses, then our hope and faith in Him is futile and we are not bound for heaven. However, Jesus IS our Savior and our Builder.

So, in conclusion, Jesus is greater than Moses as it says in Hebrews 3:3, “Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.”

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT: Why does Jesus have to be greater than Moses? In what ways is Jesus greater? Why is it important to believe that Jesus is the Son of God?

PRAYER SUGGESTIONS: Pray that God helps you with your faith in His Son. Thank Him for being our Builder and our Savior. Ask Him to help you fix your thoughts on Christ.
