November 11. We are His House. 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.

For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things

is God. Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant to testify to the things that were to be spoken later. 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. Hebrews 3, 3 through 6. The people who boast and hope in Jesus Christ are the

house of God, which means that Jesus this very day, not just back in Moses day or in his own days on

earth, but this very day is our maker, our owner, our ruler, our provider.

Jesus is called the builder of this house.

Moses was not the builder.

He was part of the house.

So it says, 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. So Moses, as great as he was, in leading the house and giving God's

word to the house, was still just a part of the house, but Jesus built the house. So if we boast in

Jesus and hope in Jesus, we are the house and Jesus is our builder and owner and ruler and provider.

He does not let his house be destroyed or fall into ruin.

Then the writer changes the imagery from builder and house to son and servant.

Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, but Christ is faithful over God's house as a son.

So Christ did become part of the house, part of the household he built.

But even so, his honor is far above Moses.

Moses was a servant.

Christ is the son, the heir.
