There is none whose Dignity and Glory may be compared with that of our Lord JESUS CHRIST. Sermon III.
HEBREWS III. 3. This Man was Counted worthy of more Glory than Moses.
THE Apostle in these Words makes a comparison between Christ and Moses: he does acknowledge that Moses had a ⟨p. 58⟩Glory, a Dignity belonging to him; but not comparable to that Glory which belongs to our Lord JESUS CHRIST. This he Confirms by divers Similitudes, in that the Builder of the House is Worthy of more honour than the House. JESUS CHRIST is the Builder of the Church, Moses was Builder but of Part of it. He that Built all Things concerning the Church of GOD is CHRIST Himself. He then is Worthy of more Glory than Moses. Moses did act as a Servant in what he did, CHRIST as a Son, a Son is Worthy of more Honour than a Servant.
