Hebrews 3:4
Verse 4 of 19. The 3rd of 13 chapters in Hebrews, in The General Letters.
1Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

4For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.

Matthew Henry on Hebrews 3:4
Another argument is taken from the superior glory and excellence of Christ above Moses (v. 3-6); therefore they were more obliged to consider Christ. (1.) Christ was a maker of the house, Moses but a member in it. By the house we are to understand the church of God, the people of God incorporated together under Christ their maker and head, and under subordinate officers, according to his law, observing his institutions.
