Hebrews 3:1-6

The author has been comparing the superiority of Jesus with angels. Today, he will move on to
Moses. Moses was the great leader of the Israelites. Through God's leading, he brought them out of Egypt, across the Red Sea, and through the wilderness for their 40 years of punishment. Not only was he their leader, he spent time on the mountain with God and brought back the laws. It was through Moses that God spoke to His people and established their way of life. Moses was revered as the greatest prophet. But, Jesus is greater than even Moses.
I love this picture of a house. Maybe, because my husband has built a house I can appreciate the
complexity of this illustration. A house is a great thing, a complex thing. It requires great planning. It must be built using the right materials at the right times in order for it to offer good protection. A foundation must be laid first, and it must be strong and plumb. Otherwise, the entire house will crumble. The Church, the people that make up the family of God, is the house of
God. Moses is a piece of the foundation, along with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. But he is still part of the house. Just like Martin Luther, John Wesley, Billy Graham, and Pastor Joe. These men are all leaders, but they are rooms in the house. Not only is Jesus Christ is the architect and builder of the house, He is the cornerstone. The stone on which the entire foundation is centered. And we all know, without a builder or a cornerstone , a house would not exist.
It's easy to look at the house & call it great, but don't ever forget that their is someone behind the creation of that house. And just like a house needs constant upkeep and maintenance, so does the family of God.
