Jesus Greater Than Moses
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 3
|
|
1. Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession,
|
|
2. who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's house.
|
|
3. For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses--as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself.
|
|
4. (For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.)
|
|
5. Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later,
|
|
6. but Christ is faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house, if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.

A Rest for the People of God
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,
|
|
"Today, if you hear his voice,
|
|
|
|
8. do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
|
|
on the day of testing in the wilderness,
|
|
|
|
9. where your fathers put me to the test
|
|
and saw my works for forty years.
|
|
|
|
10. Therefore I was provoked with that generation,
|
|
and said, 'They always go astray in their heart;
|
|
they have not known my ways.'
|
|
|
|
11. As I swore in my wrath,
|
|
'They shall not enter my rest.'"
|
|
|
|
12. Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.
|
|
13. But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called "today," that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
|
|
14. For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end.
|
|
15. As it is said,
|
|
"Today, if you hear his voice,
|
|
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."
|
|
|
|
16. For who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses?
|
|
17. And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
|
|
18. And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient?
|
|
19. So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.
