Listen "Jesus is Better than Moses"
Episode Synopsis
Heb 3:1-6 - Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession; 2 He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house. 3 For He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as the builder of the house has more honor than the house. 4 For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. 5 Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later; 6 but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house — whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end. Matt 16 - Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."John 6:66-69 - As a result of this many of His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore. 67 So Jesus said to the twelve, "You do not want to go away also, do you?" 68 Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life. 69 "We have believed and have come to know that You are the Holy One of God."**1. Why do we need to consider carefully who Jesus is?****a. Our calling is a heavenly calling**Phil 3:14 - I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.Col 3:2 - Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.C.S. Lewis in Mere ChristianityIf you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were just those who thought most of the next. The Apostles themselves, who set on foot the conversion of the Roman Empire, the great men who built up the Middle Ages, the English Evangelicals who abolished the Slave Trade, all left their mark on Earth, precisely because their minds were occupied with Heaven. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this. Aim at Heaven and you will get earth ‘thrown in’: aim at earth and you will get neither.”**b. Jesus is the apostle and high priest of our confession.**Heb 2:18 - For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.**c. Jesus is better than Moses deserving of more glory than Moses.**Heb 3:2 - He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house.Heb. 3:5,6 - “Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later; but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house—whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.”Heb 3:3-4 - For He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as the builder of the house has more honor than the house. 4 For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is GodJohn 1:3 - All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.Rom 1:25 - For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.John 5:18 - For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.**1. Jesus is equal with God in ability to give life.****2. Jesus does what even God does not do.**John 5:22 - "For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son,**3. The Father and Son will both be honored in the same way.**John 5:22 -"For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son,**d. Jesus is the only hope for our salvation.**Heb 3:6 - but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house — whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.Heb 3:7-87 Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says,"TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,8 DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME,AS IN THE DAY OF TRIAL IN THE WILDERNESS,
