Commentators unanimously highlight the stark contrast between Moses and Christ. While Moses was a faithful servant in God's house, Christ is the divine Son over the house. Scholars like Barnes and Spurgeon explain this isn't just a higher rank but a different nature. As the Son, Christ has inherent authority, ownership, and inheritance that a servant, no matter how faithful, could never possess.
