Hebrews Chapter 3 (NIV)
undefined
Jesus Greater Than MosesTherefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.
undefined
He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.
undefined
Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.
undefined
For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.
undefined
Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be said in the future.
undefined
But Christ is faithful as a son over God’s house. And we are his house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast.
undefined
Warning Against UnbeliefSo, as the Holy Spirit says:“Today, if you hear his voice,
undefined
do not harden your heartsas you did in the rebellion,during the time of testing in the desert,
undefined
where your fathers tested and tried meand for forty years saw what I did.
undefined
That is why I was angry with that generation,and I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray,and they have not known my ways.’
undefined
So I declared on oath in my anger,‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ”
undefined
See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.
undefined
But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.
undefined
We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first.
undefined
As has just been said:“Today, if you hear his voice,do not harden your heartsas you did in the rebellion.”
undefined
Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?
undefined
And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the desert?
undefined
And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed?
undefined
So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.
