For 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). Hebrews 3:3-4. With reference to Num. 12:7, Moses and Christ are compared as to faithfulness and contrasted as to honor (3:2-6). Though privileged to speak to God face to face and to see His form, Moses was still only a “servant” in the house of God. Christ, as an agent of creation deserves honor as divine builder of all things and as Son “over God’s house.” The necessary implication is that Jesus is the builder of the house, and therefor that He is divine. This passage points both to Christ’s identity as God (“the builder”) and to His personal distinction from the Father. Take a moment today and give Jesus the glory for all He has built in you, and who you've become in Christ Jesus.
