Jesus greater than Moses and the other prophets

Jesus Greater Than Moses

Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest.He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house. Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. “Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house,” bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future. But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory. Hebrews 3:1-6.

يَسُوعُ أعظَمُ مِنْ مُوسَى


فَيا أيُّها الإخوَةُ المُقَدَّسُونَ الَّذِينَ اشْتَرَكْتُمْ جَمِيعاً بِدَعوَةِ اللهِ لَكُمْ، تَأمَّلُوا يَسُوعَ الَّذِي أرسَلَهُ اللهُ لِيَكُونَ رَئِيسَ كَهَنَةٍ لِلإيمانِ الَّذِي نَعتَرِفُ بِهِ. فَقَدْ كانَ أمِيناً للهِ الَّذِي عَيَّنَهُ، كَما كانَ مُوسَى أمِيناً فِي خِدمَةِ كُلِّ بَيتِ اللهِ. أمّا يَسُوعُ فَقَدْ وُجِدَ أكثَرَ استِحقاقاً لِلكَرامَةِ مِنْ مُوسَى، حَيْثُ إنَّ بانِيَ البَيتِ لَهُ كَرامَةٌ أكثَرَ مِنَ البَيتِ نَفسِهِ. فَكُلُّ البُيوتِ يَبْنيها البَشَرُ، لَكِنَّ اللهَ بَنَى كُلَّ شَيءٍ.وَمُوسَى كانَ أمِيناً فِي الاهتِمامِ بِأهلِ بَيتِ اللهِ باعْتِبارِهِ خادِماً. وَقَدْ شَهِدَ عنْ ما سَيَقُولُهُ اللهُ مُستَقبَلاً. أمّا المَسِيحُ فَأمِينٌ باعْتِبارِهِ ابْناً مَسؤُولاً عَنْ بَيتِ اللهِ. وَنَحنُ أهلُ بَيتِ اللهِ، إنْ تَمَسَّكْنا بِالجُرأةِ وَالافتِخارِ فِي الرَّجاءِ الَّذِي عِندَنا.
