Bible Text: Hebrews 3: 1-6 | Preacher: Rev. Dr. Jeffrey Crawford | Series: Jesus is Greater than… | As we work our way down from Jesus on the throne at God’s right hand, through the angels who are ministering spirits, we next come to those ancestors who have received near-mythic (heroic) status for their leadership, specifically Moses.

Jesus is greater than Moses. There is likely no Old Testament prophet more respected than Moses.  Among those most revered ancestors in Jewish thought was Moses, who both led his people out of slavery and brought them to Mount Sinai.  While Abraham, Issac, and Jacob were renowned for their faithfulness, Moses was known as a great leader and the one through whom God led his people to the promised land.  He was the lawgiver, the emancipator of Israel, and a worker of miracles.
