CHRIST IS GREATER THAN MOSES IN HIS PERSON
As pertaining to redemption, Moses was a type of Christ. He was called of God to go to the king of Egypt and to ask for emancipation of the children of Israel and departure from Egypt. In the beginning, he thought the route to the Promised Land would be easy and would take a few days. In the end, it turned out to be a trek of forty years and he himself did not set foot on the Promised Land. He died before the crossing, yet he did what was humanly possible of all that God commanded him to do. In the Jewish mind, he was the greatest. However, Christ was counted to be of more glory than Moses.
In Zechariah 6:12-13, Christ was called “The BRANCH” that shall grow out of His place and shall build the temple of the LORD. It is added that He shall bear the glory and shall sit and rule upon the throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
Moses’ contribution in the writing of Scripture compares to none. However the loyalty to him and his influence was confined to the Jewish nation. This was so by God’s design. Christ did not write any book but He taught the disciples and commissioned twelve of them whom He named Apostles. This small band set out to preach the gospel of Christ. They did so with dedication and within their generation it was testified that they turned the world upside down. Since then until now the influence of Christ is far greater. He is great because He is God.
Moses was a servant for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after. He was appointed of God for a special duty which he fulfilled. Christ was not a servant but a Son to His own house. “… praise him according to his excellent greatness” (Ps 150:2).
THOUGHT: Christ is worthy of my worship.
PRAYER: Father, may I always recognize Thy greatness.
