Worthy of Glory

“For He has been considered worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as He who built the house is having more honor than the house."

Hebrews 3:3

"For every house is being built by someone, but the one who built all things is God."

Hebrews 3:4

verse 3: "For He has been considered worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as He who built the house is having more honor than the house."

Let's begin our meditation today by tying these first 3 verses together here in chapter 3. In verse 1 the command is "contemplate Jesus, the apostle and high priest." He is characterized in verse 2 as being "faithful to the One who appointed Him." Now in verse 3 we read "He has been considered worthy of more glory than Moses."

Christ is seen as the creator of the house and Moses is a resident.

The reason being, He [Christ] "Has been considered worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as He who built the house is having more honor than the house."

It has been over 2,000 years since God tore apart the temple veil, signifying the end of an era which had lasted 1,500 years. A new day had dawned abruptly and completely. The Jew had to face the revolutionary fact that Christ had eclipsed all others and that Calvary spelled the end of the law.

verse 4: "For e very house is being built by someone, but the one who built all things is God."

We now have a second statement of reason in this argument: "For every house is being built by someone, but [in contrast] the one who built all things is God."

Christ is the builder of all things, and Moses is part of His building operations.

It is an acceptable premise that when you have order and design, you have a creator. This universe is built by someone: "but the one who built all things is God."

Moses is a resident, Jesus is president.

Join me in singing that hymn "Reach Out To Jesus":

Is your burden heavy as you bear it all alone?

Does the road you travel harbor danger yet unknown?

Are you growing weary in the struggle of it all?

Jesus will help you when on His name you call.

Is the life you're living filled with sorrow and despair?

Does the future press you with its worry and its care?

Are you tired and friendless, have you almost lost your way?

Jesus will help you just come to Him today.

He is always there hearing ev'ry prayer faithful and true.

Walking by our side in His love we hide all the day through.
