Although we are highlighting Jesus in the book of Hebrews ,I would like to remind you, that Christ is in all the scriptures.Now I am just highlighting certain aspect of Christ in Hebrews,so we move on to chap 3 ,and in this chap Moses the law giver is mentioned. He was a very significant person and in no way should undermine his important,but the writer needs to make clear that Christ is greater than Moses.it is important because the Jewish Christians were in danger of forsaking Christ .Moses was a servant, 3 v5, but it was temporary,for it was within the old covenant,but Christ is the eternal Son of God 3 v6 .Not many people mention this ,Moses sinned, Numbers 20 v 12, Jesus was sinless. Heb 4 v 15. One writer says this ,' to forsake the way of Christ for the way of Moses is to go from the greater to the lesser. It is to abandon the permanent ,in favour of the temporary'. Christ is and was unique, He pre existed in eternity as God the Son, no one can compare with Him, greater than Moses and all the prophets,greater that the apostles, beware of any who teach otherwise.
