Jesus Greater Than Moses: Our High Priest and Builder

But Jesus is superior to Moses. Jesus is compared to Moses. Both are faithful. Both are servants. But the difference, the there's a comparison, but there's a contrast. And the contrast is this, Jesus is superior to Moses because he's greater than him. And he's worth more glory than Moses because he's the builder. You see, Moses served as a servant in the house of God. Jesus built the house of God. That's the difference. [01:13:34] (33 seconds)  #JesusOverMoses

Once of some of you are here today, and one time in your life where you were on fire for Christ, and now it's like you're a shadow of your former self. There's a throne, and it's called the throne of grace. And there's one there that lives for you today. There's one there who died for you. There's one there that lived in this world and can and sympathizes with you. And you run to him, and you say, nothing in my hand I bring, simply to your cross I cling. I run to you. I need grace and mercy in the high time of need. [01:23:22] (40 seconds)  #ThroneOfGrace

And we can find and enter into that throne room with boldness, not by our works, but by the works of Jesus on the cross. And I enter boldly because I need mercy. How many of you all ever messed up in your life and you need some mercy? Have you failed and stumbled? You need some mercy. Anybody here ever feel like a failure? You need mercy. Some of us are weighed down by our sins and failures, by our frailties, our insecurities. [01:22:23] (43 seconds)  #BoldAccessToMercy

It says consider Jesus, verse one, means look at Jesus. He said, I want you to look at Jesus, consider Jesus, focus on him, fix your eyes on Jesus, think about Jesus. So, why is Jesus greater? When you fix your eyes off of yourself, fix your eyes on Jesus. Notice how he is described. He is the apostle and high priest of our confession. First of all, he's the apostle. He's the one sent with authority to speak to us. [01:05:55] (33 seconds)  #FixYourEyesOnJesus

I look at this passage of scripture, the argument is being made in the book of Hebrews that Jesus is greater. He's greater than all. He's greater than angels. We looked at that last week. But he's also greater than Moses. He's greater than the law. He is he is the greatest man who's ever lived. He is the god man, and that's who he is. And he is greater than Moses, and this is the argument in the passage that we're looking at today. Now the question for you to consider today is how do you measure greatness?

Jesus takes us in tow with him. Jesus brings into us into a relationship with God. Jesus is our savior, and through Jesus, he makes us his brothers and sisters, and we are sanctified by his work, and we are the children of God. Can somebody say amen? And for John chapter three verse one says, oh, what great love the father has given to us that we are called God's children, and so we are. [01:01:00] (36 seconds)  #ChildrenOfGod

And something has infected Miriam and Aaron as they've already made the exodus out of Egypt. They're on their way to the promised land, but a green eyed monster has invaded Miriam and Aaron. And they are envious toward their brother. And that bitter that envy has turned into bitterness because the younger brother is now exceeding them. The younger brother is the one leading them. God has chosen and anointed their younger brother in a more public way than themselves. [00:47:55] (33 seconds)  #EnvyInTheCamp

So in god's kingdom, what of serving others? What about enabling others? Did others shine because of the investment that you've placed into their lives? How do you measure greatness? Second question is, how do you measure goodness? How would you measure goodness? I mean, are they a good person? And how would you measure goodness? Are they good when no one's watching? Are they good when no one's applauding? You might say, well, they're good for nothing. Are they good at all times? [00:45:57] (48 seconds)  #ServeToRaiseOthers
