JESUS MORE WORTHY THAN MOSES.

JESUS MORE WORTHY THAN MOSES.

Jesus our High Priest!

Moses was faithful in his house.

Jesus is faithful in building His house.

For some cannot believe, they remain in unbelief.  Their eyes and ears cannot see and hear.  

God the Father appointed Jesus as builder of the house.

Jesus is worthy of more glory...

...as the builder of the house has more honor than the house.

...the builder is God.

1 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession; 

2 He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house. 

3 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. 

4 For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. 

5 Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later; 

6 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. 

7 Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says, "TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, 

8 DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME, AS IN THE DAY OF TRIAL IN THE WILDERNESS, 

9 WHERE YOUR FATHERS TRIED Me BY TESTING Me, AND SAW MY WORKS FOR FORTY YEARS. 

10 "THEREFORE I WAS ANGRY WITH THIS GENERATION, AND SAID, 'THEY ALWAYS GO ASTRAY IN THEIR HEART, AND THEY DID NOT KNOW MY WAYS'; 

11 AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH, 'THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST.'"

12 Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God.

13 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. 

14 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end, 

15 while it is said, "TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS, AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME." 

16 For who provoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?

17 And with whom was He angry 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 not able to enter because of unbelief.  (Hebrews 3:1, NASB)

49 'HEAVEN IS MY THRONE, AND EARTH IS THE FOOTSTOOL OF MY FEET; WHAT KIND OF HOUSE WILL YOU BUILD FOR ME?' says the Lord, 'OR WHAT PLACE IS THERE FOR MY REPOSE? 

50 'WAS IT NOT MY HAND WHICH MADE ALL THESE THINGS?' 

51 "You men who are stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears are always resisting the Holy Spirit; you are doing just as your fathers did.  (Acts 7:49, NASB)

11 Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; 

12 but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD, 

13 waiting from that time onward UNTIL HIS ENEMIES BE MADE A FOOTSTOOL FOR HIS FEET. 

14 For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. 

15 And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after saying, 

16 "THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THEM AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD: I WILL PUT MY LAWS UPON THEIR HEART, AND ON THEIR MIND I WILL WRITE THEM," He then says, 

17 "AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE."  (Hebrews 10:11, NASB)
