Yes, Even Better than Moses

Down through the years, Yahweh God has used many men, women, boys, and girls to do mighty exploits in His name. Hopefully, a few names may come to your mind as you ponder on the many ways in which God has used people for His purposes. Moses was such a man. In the Bible, there is an Exodus account in which God used Moses in a powerful way to deliver the people of Israel out of Egypt and into the Promised Land.

Truly, Moses was faithful to God’s work from the building of the tabernacle, to standing up against the wicked Pharaoh, to putting blood on the doorposts.

Many are familiar with the fact that Moses was used of God to establish the Ten Commandments to the children of Israel. And although Moses was a man of faith and served Yahweh God, he was not perfect; and at one time was disobedient to God, killed a man, struggled with his calling, and oftentimes, wrestled with his own emotions–but at any rate, God used him mightily to do a great work in His name.

However, there is one greater than Moses and His name is Jesus Christ of Nazareth. The Word of God states this in Hebrews 3:1-3  “Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,   2 who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house.   3 For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house.”

Moses performed good works for God, but Jesus was better in every way. And we will discuss a few of those ways on this platform.

First and foremost, Moses was given instructions on how to build the tabernacle and how to worship in God’s house. Basically, Moses served in God’s house–Jesus is the Son who rules over Gods house.

Both did many miracles, signs, and wonders–Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness (Numbers 21:8-9), Christ Jesus lifted Himself up on the Cross to draw all men. (John 3:14-16).

Moses was sinful (Numbers 20:7-13); Jesus was sinless. (Hebrews 4:15)

Moses delivered people from physical bondage (Exodus 14:13-31), Christ Jesus delivered people from spiritual bondage. (Luke 4:18-19)

Moses gave physical bread (manna) from heaven to sustain strength (Exodus 16:14-15); Jesus gave that spiritual bread from heaven that gives and sustains eternal life. Jesus is the bread of Life. (John 6:32-35)

Moses appears with Jesus Christ at the Mount of Transfiguration and was taken up, but the people saw Jesus, the beloved Son in Whom God was well pleased, as the only one left standing. (Matt. 17:8)

Moses’ assignment pertained to the people of Israel only (Exodus 3:1-9), while Christ’s assignment was ultimately to the whole creation. (Mark 16:15).

Moses was only a mere man (Exodus 2:2); while Christ Jesus is both man and God. (John 1:1; John 17:5; John 20:28; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 1:8).

Moses’s body was buried and saw deterioration and corruption (Deut. 34:6), Christ was spared corruption and decay. (Acts 13:37Yes, Jesus, the Son of God, the One Who Built the House and has More Honor than the House is better in every way–yes, even better than Moses.

Moses asked God, “Show me Your Glory”? JESUS CHRIST IS THE GLORY OF THE TRUE CHURCH OF GOD.

Yes, Jesus, the Son of God, the One Who Built the House and has More Honor than the House is better in every way–yes, even better than Moses.

Prayer: Father God, we thank You for Your Son, Christ in us (our spiritual tabernacle), our Hope of Glory. Papa God, we know that when this earthly tent (tabernacle) we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God Himself and not by human hands (2 Cor. 5:1) NLT. And Papa God, we thank You for these promises in Jesus’ blessed name, Amen!
