Christ Greater Than Moses — The Final and Perfect Offering

With Anthony Pina

📖 Today’s Reading

• Leviticus 4–7
• Hebrews 3

In this episode, Anthony walks through the continued details of Israel’s sacrificial system and highlights a powerful New Testament truth: what the law required, Christ fulfilled.

🩸 Leviticus 4–7 — Sin Is Serious, and God Provides a Way

These chapters expand on the offerings introduced earlier in Leviticus, with special focus on:

• The Sin Offering (Leviticus 4) — For sins committed in ignorance.
• The Trespass/Guilt Offering (Leviticus 5) — For specific acts of wrongdoing.
• Further instructions regarding burnt, grain, and peace offerings (Leviticus 6–7).

One repeated phrase stands out:

“And the Lord spake unto Moses…”

Moses served as God’s conduit to the people, and Aaron and his sons carried out the priestly responsibilities exactly as prescribed.

Key Themes:

• Sin — even unintentional sin — must be addressed.
• Worship must be done God’s way.
• A spotless sacrifice was required.
• Atonement always required blood.

The weight of these chapters reminds us just how serious sin is before a holy God. Yet it also magnifies God’s mercy in providing a way for reconciliation.

Today, we don’t search for a spotless animal to sacrifice — because Christ became our perfect offering, once and for all.

✝️ Hebrews 3 — Christ Is Greater Than Moses

The author of Hebrews continues building the case that Christ is superior.

After establishing that Christ is greater than angels (Hebrews 1–2), chapter 3 makes it clear:

Christ is greater than Moses.

While Moses was faithful as a servant in God’s house, Christ is the Son over God’s house.

Moses:

• A faithful servant
• A leader and mediator
• A testimony pointing forward

Christ:

• The Son
• The fulfillment
• The perfect and faithful High Priest
• The once-for-all sacrifice

Moses was used mightily by God, but he was imperfect. Christ, however, was completely faithful to the mission the Father sent Him to accomplish — giving His life for our sins.

🎯 Main Takeaways

• God takes sin seriously.
• Atonement requires a sacrifice.
• The Old Testament system pointed forward to something greater.
• Jesus is not merely another leader in a long line of faithful men.
• Christ is the greater Moses — the perfect and final offering.
• His sacrifice covers sins past, present, and future.

🙏 Closing Encouragement

Because of Christ:

• We can stand righteous before a holy God.
• We don’t approach through repeated sacrifices.
• We rest in a finished work.

Praise the Lord for the sufficiency of Jesus — our perfect sacrifice and our greater Savior.
