God's House

Hebrews 3:1-6

The image that the author creates is God's house. He is comparing Jesus and Moses in this section, talking about how Moses was faithful in his service in all God's house. The reference is to Numbers 12:7 where God judges Aaron and Miriam for stirring up rebellion against Moses. God affirms Moses' leadership because he is faithful in all God's house and has communicated with God face-to-face. This is contrast to the prophets to whom God communicates in visions.
The author compares the honour Moses receives to the honour Jesus receives, implying that Jesus is worthy of greater honour because he built the house while Moses only served in the house. Jesus is also worthy of greater honour because he is the Son, and therefore the heir, while Moses, as great as he was, is a servant. The author makes it clear that the house Moses served - the tabernacle - was a type of the house that God would ultimately build - the Church.
This section connects directly to the previous section in chapter 2. The flow of the author's thought is: Because Christ shared in our humanity and tasted death for us, we should fix our thoughts on Jesus. Again it all comes back to Jesus being the center. It is all about the supremacy of Christ. He deserves to at least be my focus and fascination. He is worthy of my full attention. Everything in my life must be centered around him - he is the sun around which the rest of my life must revolve.
