Main Idea: Brothers and sisters, be faithful to the faithful Son!
• Consider Jesus (1) The Apostle (1a) Sent by the Father (Gospel of John) To bring many sons to glory (2:10) The High Priest of our confession (1a) A merciful and faithful High Priest (2:17) Of our confession (1b)
• Comparison of Jesus and Moses (2) Jesus was faithful to Him who appointed Him (2a) Made like His brothers in every way (2:14-17a) Became a merciful and faithful High Priest (2:17) Made propitiation for the sins of the people (2:17)
As Moses was faithful in all God’s “house” (2b) (Nu 12:7)
• Contrast of Jesus and Moses (3) Jesus is worthy of more glory (3) Jesus counted worthy of more glory than Moses (3a) (As the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself 3b) God the creator deserves glory and honor (4) Analogy between God and Christ (3, 4) Christ as builder is honored above Moses (3, 4)
Servant vs. Son (5-6a) Moses faithful IN God’s “house” as servant (testifying future proclamation) (5) Christ faithful OVER God’s “house” as a Son (6a)
• Therefore: be faithful to the faithful Christ! (6b) Those who are “His house” hold fast their confidence
