Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

The verses we heard from the book of Hebrews today praise Moses. Twice it tells us that Moses was faithful in all God's house. But ask Moses, and he would tell you a different story. Moses knew he was nothing. He knew he had his good moments and bad moments, and he knew he was a great sinner. And for this he would not enter the Promised Land of Canaan. But Moses did enter the Promised Land -- just not this one. Not the one of this earth. The kingdom not of Israel, but the kingdom of God. That greater Promised Land Moses would enter, because of the prophet coming after Him, the one greater than him.
