Jesus Greater Than Moses
Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest.
Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest.
He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.
Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.
But Jesus deserves far more glory than Moses, just as a person who builds a house deserves more praise than the house itself.
For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.
For every house has a builder, but the one who built everything is God.
Moses was certainly faithful in God’s house as a servant. His work was an illustration of the truths God would reveal later.
But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory.
Warning Against Unbelief
So, as the Holy Spirit says:
“Today, if you hear his voice,
So, as the Holy Spirit says:
“Today, if you hear his voice,
That is why the Holy Spirit says,
“Today when you hear his voice,
“Today when you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts
as you did in the rebellion,
during the time of testing in the wilderness,
as you did in the rebellion,
during the time of testing in the wilderness,
don’t harden your hearts
as Israel did when they rebelled,
when they tested me in the wilderness.
as Israel did when they rebelled,
when they tested me in the wilderness.
where your ancestors tested and tried me,
though for forty years they saw what I did.
though for forty years they saw what I did.
There your ancestors tested and tried my patience,
even though they saw my miracles for forty years.
even though they saw my miracles for forty years.
That is why I was angry with that generation;
I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray,
and they have not known my ways.’
I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray,
and they have not known my ways.’
So I was angry with them, and I said,
‘Their hearts always turn away from me.
They refuse to do what I tell them.’
‘Their hearts always turn away from me.
They refuse to do what I tell them.’
See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.
But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.
You must warn each other every day, while it is still “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God.
We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end.
For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ.
Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?
And who was it who rebelled against God, even though they heard his voice? Wasn’t it the people Moses led out of Egypt?
And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies perished in the wilderness?
And who made God angry for forty years? Wasn’t it the people who sinned, whose corpses lay in the wilderness?
And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed?
And to whom was God speaking when he took an oath that they would never enter his rest? Wasn’t it the people who disobeyed him?
