Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess. He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house. Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be said in the future. But Christ is faithful as a son over God’s house. And we are his house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast. Hebrews 3:1-6
Moses was truly a great man. He led the Israelites from Egyptian bondage to the edge of the Promised Land, he was given the law by God, he wrote the first five books of the Old Testament, he was a prophet, he was a prayer warrior who interceded on the people's behalf so God would not destroy them.
But Moses was still only a human servant.
Jesus is more than just human. He is also God himself. And He is the One on whom our faith rests, giving us the courage and hope to live out our faith daily.

I don't know about anyone else, but I find it so comforting that Moses is held up as an example of a godly man in so many ways, and yet he was clearly an imperfect human being. Makes me feel better about my shortcomings, knowing that I can still serve God in spite of them.
