Scripture to Read: Hebrews 3:2-6
Our Lord Jesus Christ was completely faithful to God the Father’s perfect will. We know that Jesus never did anything His Father had not al- ready commanded Him to do, for this is clearly shared by our Lord Jesus Christ in John 4:34; John 5:19, 30, 36; John 6:38; John 8:28-29; John 12:49; John 14:10; John 15:10; John 17:4. Because the book of Hebrews was written to Completed Jews (Jews who had surren- dered to Christ as Lord), God the Father led the writer of Hebrews to use Moses as an example of one of God’s faithful servants. We know that Moses had his faults, but Moses did receive glory from God, as God’s faith- ful servant, as recorded in Exodus 34:29-35; Numbers 12:6-8 and Numbers 16. Christ, though, was not just a faithful servant, but Christ is the faithful Son, who was faithful in ALL things the Father had sent Him to do. Because Christ perfectly fulfilled the Father’s will, He alone is “worthy of more glory than Moses.” As we see in Hebrews 3:4-6, God is the builder of all things, and as we know, Christ is Creator (Colossians 1:16), so again Christ is more worthy than Moses, of all glory. Moses is a member of God’s house, but Jesus is the Builder of His house. We, who have surrendered to Christ as Lord, have also become members of His house if we prove faithful to Him. Lip service is not enough, but we must live for Him daily.
