Servant in the House
Commentators unanimously highlight the key distinction made in this verse: Moses was a servant in the house, whereas Christ is the Son over the house. While Moses was exceptionally faithful and honored (the Greek word used, 'therapon', implies an esteemed attendant, not a mere slave), his role was ultimately subordinate. This contrast powerfully establishes Christ's supreme authority and unique relationship to God's people.
