Subject: Superiority of Christ to Moses |
Bible Note: The theme of the book of Hebrews is the superiority of Christ. This particular passage shows clearly the superiority of Christ to Moses. This was very significant to the Jews, since Moses is revered as an exceptional human being. He is called "that holy man of God" repeatedly in the Old Testament. To the Jew, Moses was the giver of the Law. They could accord no greater esteem to any man. However, the author of the book of Hebrews tells us that Moses brought the Law, but was not the originator of the Law. Christ was the originator of the Law. Indeed, He was the Word of God incarnate. |
