just as Moses: To remind the Hebrew Christians of the superiority of Christianity over Judaism, Paul here begins comparing Jesus with Moses. Paul shows that Christ was far greater than that imperfect man in whom the Jews put their hope. (Joh 5:45) Moses was appointed as an attendant in the house of that One, Jehovah God. In this context, God’s house does not refer to the tabernacle or the temple. (Compare 2Ch 6:18.) “The house” that Paul here refers to is the earthly nation, or the congregation, of Israel. (Ex 40:38; Nu 12:7; Mt 10:6; 15:24) Moses proved to be faithful as an attendant managing that household. (1Co 4:2) Jesus likewise proved to be faithful. But Paul goes on to explain why Jesus’ appointment and his role were greater than those of Moses.—Heb 3:3, 5, 6.
