For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses,
inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house.
Hebrews 3:3
Even today Moses holds a unique place in the hearts and minds of the Jewish people. He was their deliverer and principal figure in the foundation of Israel as a nation. However, although this man of God was great in all he did, he pales in comparison to Jesus Christ, who is Worthy of More Glory than Moses.

Moses 1. Name mentioned 797 times in the Bible. 2. Law of Moses (Joshua 8:31) called law of sin and death (Romans 8:2). 3. Mediator of the First Covenant (Exodus 34:27). 4. Moses’ face reflected glory of God (Exodus 34:29). 5. A prophet (Deuteronomy 34:10) 6. Led the children of Israel out of bondage from Egypt (Exodus 13:3). 7. Built the foundation of the nation of Israel (Hebrews 3:4). |
Jesus 1. Name mentioned 983 times in the New Testament 2. Law of Christ (Galatians 6:2) called law of Spirit of life (Romans 8:2). 3. Mediator of a Better Covenant (Hebrews 8:6). 4. The body of the glorified Christ shone (Rev. 1:14-16). 5. The Prophet (John 6:14) 6. Delivered the world out of the bondage of sin (Galatians 1:4). 7. Built the foundation of the church (1 Corinthians 3:11). |
In the very least Jesus Christ is Worthy of More Glory than Moses, but on a much grander scale, He is worthy “to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!” (Revelation 5:12). Praise and worship be to the Lord of Glory.
