Three ways Christ is superior to Moses
Would you agree with this overview of Heb. 3:1-6?
First, the builder of a house has more glory than the house. Christ is the builder and Moses is the house; therefore, Christ is superior to Moses in glory (3:3-4). Second, the son in a family is superior to a servant. Christ is the Son and Moses is a servant: therefore, Christ is superior to Moses in rank (3:5-6). Third, one over the house is superior to one in the house. Christ is over the house and Moses is in the house; therefore, Christ is superior to Moses in position (3:5-6).
Quote is from James R. Allen, writing on Hebrews in Don Shackelford, ed., New Testament Survey (Search, AR: Resource Publications, 1987): 398.

I believe parts of John 5 and 2 Corinthians 3 would support that understanding along with the Hebrews reference.
It amazes me at times to think about how little we can show about our understanding of who Jesus is fully…at least I speak for my self. One day we’ll find out. The thought also reminds of John 1:17 which is a wonderful verse in it’s context.
