Jesus Greater Than Moses
Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest.
-
He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.
-
Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.
-
“Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house,” bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future.
-
Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?
-
For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.
-
They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”
-
When Moses had proclaimed every command of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves, together with water, scarlet wool and branches of hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people.
-
Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
-
By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king’s edict.
-
By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.
-
The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.”
