Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's house. 3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. 4 (For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.) 5 Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, 6 but Christ is faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house, if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope. (Hebrews 3)
Moses was a great guy - a really great guy. He moved a whole nation - literally. But Christ is greater. His "nation", His house is God's people. Moses was faithful to serve; Christ was faithful to both serve and build. Moses spoke for God; Christ both spoke and acted as priest. Just as with the angels, we are wowed by all Moses did, but just like them, he pales in comparison to Christ. But so does everyone, no matter how "great" we think they are, no matter how great we think we are. Our confidence, and boasting, belong to Christ, and Him alone.
