"Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God."
Hebrews 3:1-4
I like this analogy of Jesus as the owner of the household, while Moses was a member of it. No dishonor to Moses of course, but Christ transcends all, and the analogy helps us to remember that Christ wasn't just a normal man, but a God. This is why Christ "taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes" (Matthew 7:29)... because he was the author of those scriptures, not just a prophet or an amazing interpreter of them.
Today, let's remember the overwhelming awe of who Christ is and the amazing idea of being able to talk to "he that built all things" and work with him to build something good in our lives and the lives of the people around us. Like the apostles, we have a chance to know this incredible being. Let's take that opportunity, and reach out to God.
