Jesus Our High Priest
Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession;
Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession;
He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house.
But Jesus deserves far more glory than Moses, just as a person who builds a house deserves more praise than the house itself.
For He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as the builder of the house has more honor than the house.
For every house has a builder, but the one who built everything is God.
For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things 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.
Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later;
but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house — whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.
That is why the Holy Spirit says,
“Today when you hear his voice,
“Today when you hear his voice,
Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says,
“TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,
“TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,
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.
DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME,
AS IN THE DAY OF TRIAL IN THE WILDERNESS,
AS IN THE DAY OF TRIAL IN THE WILDERNESS,
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.
WHERE YOUR FATHERS TRIED Me BY TESTING Me,
AND SAW MY WORKS FOR FORTY YEARS.
AND SAW MY WORKS FOR FORTY YEARS.
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.’
“THEREFORE I WAS ANGRY WITH THIS GENERATION,
AND SAID, ‘THEY ALWAYS GO ASTRAY IN THEIR HEART,
AND THEY DID NOT KNOW MY WAYS’;
AND SAID, ‘THEY ALWAYS GO ASTRAY IN THEIR HEART,
AND THEY DID NOT KNOW MY WAYS’;
AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH,
‘THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST.’”
‘THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST.’”
The Peril of Unbelief
Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God.
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.
But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
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.
For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end,
while it is said,
“TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,
DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS, AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME.”
“TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,
DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS, AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME.”
And who was it who rebelled against God, even though they heard his voice? Wasn’t it the people Moses led out of Egypt?
For who provoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?
And who made God angry for forty years? Wasn’t it the people who sinned, whose corpses lay in the wilderness?
And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
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?
And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient?
