Jesus is Greater

And so, dear brothers and sisters, you are now made holy, and each of you is invited to the feast of your heavenly calling. So fasten your thoughts fully onto Jesus, whom we embrace as our Apostle and King Priest. For He was faithful to the Father who appointed Him, in the same way that Moses was a model of faithfulness in what was entrusted to him. But Jesus is worthy to receive a much greater glory than Moses, for the one who builds the house deserves to be honored more than the house he builds. Every house is built by someone, but God is the Designer and Builder of all things. Indeed, Moses served God faithfully in all He gave him to do. His work prophetically illustrates things that would later be spoken and fulfilled. But Christ is more than a servant, He was faithful as the Son in charge of God’s house. And now we are a part of His house if we continue courageously to hold firm to our bold confidence and our victorious hope. This is why the Holy Spirit says, ⁣ ⁣ If only you would listen to His voice this day! Don’t make Him angry by hardening your hearts, like your ancestors did during the days of their rebellion, when they were tested in the wilderness. There your fathers tested Me and tried My patience even though they saw My miracles for 40 years (they still doubted me)! This ignited My anger with that generation and I said about them, they wander in their hearts just like they do with their feet and they refuse to learn my ways. My heart grieved over them so I decreed: they will never enter into the calming rest of My spirit! Hebrews 3:1-11
