耶穌比摩西更尊貴

因此,同蒙天召的聖潔的弟兄啊!你們應該想想耶穌,就是作使徒、作我們所宣認的大祭司的那一位。 他忠於那位委派他的,好像摩西在 神的全家盡忠一樣。 他比摩西配得更大的榮耀,好像建造房屋的人比房屋配得更大的尊貴一樣。 因為每一間房屋都是人建造的,只有萬物是 神建造的。 摩西不過是個僕人,在 神的全家盡忠,為以後要傳講的事作證; 但是基督卻是兒子,管理自己的家。如果我們把坦然無懼的心和可誇的盼望持守到底,我們就是他的家了。

以色列人因不信得不到安息

所以,就像聖靈所說的:

“如果你們今天聽從他的聲音,

就不要硬著心,

好像在曠野惹他發怒、

試探他的日子一樣;

在那裡,你們的祖先以試驗來試探我,

觀看我的作為有四十年之久。

10 所以,我向那個世代的人發怒,說:‘他們心裡常常迷誤,

不認識我的道路。’

11 我就在烈怒中起誓,說:

‘他們絕不可進入我的安息。’”

12 弟兄們,你們要小心,免得你們中間有人存著邪惡、不信的心,以致離棄了永活的 神; 13 趁著還有叫作“今天”的時候,總要天天互相勸勉,免得你們中間有人受了罪惡的誘惑,心裡就剛硬了。 14 如果我們把起初的信念堅持到底,就是有分於基督的人了。 15 經上說:

“如果你們今天聽從他的聲音,

就不要硬著心,

像惹他發怒的時候一樣。”

16 那時,聽了他的話而惹他發怒的是誰呢?不就是摩西從埃及領出來的那些人嗎? 17 四十年之久, 神向誰發怒呢?不就是向那些犯了罪陳屍曠野的人嗎? 18 他又向誰起誓說,他們絕對不可以進入他的安息呢?不就是向那些不順從的人嗎? 19 這樣看來,他們不能進入安息,是因為不信的緣故。

耶稣比摩西更伟大

一同分享天堂召唤的神圣的兄弟们,想一想耶稣,我们所承认的使徒和大祭司吧。 他忠于任命他的上帝,就像摩西在上帝的居所尽忠一样。 耶稣比摩西配得上更多的荣誉,就像建造房屋的人比房屋本身配得上更多的荣誉那样。 每个房屋都是由人建造的,但是,上帝是所有一切的建造者。 摩西在上帝的居所像一名仆人处处都是忠诚的,他向人们证实了上帝所说的未来的一切。 基督做为上帝的儿子,忠实地管理着上帝的家务。如果我们继续对希望充满勇气与信心,我们就是他的家庭成员。

我们必须继续跟随上帝

正如圣灵所说:

“今天,如果你们听到了上帝的声音,
不要固执,
不要像从前在荒野中
试探上帝时那样反抗他,
你们的祖先考验我,试探我,
尽管他们看到了我的所作所为,
10 达四十年之久。
这就是为什么我对那一代感到
气愤的原因,所以,我说道,
‘他们的思想总是误入歧途,
这些人从未认识我的道路。’
11 所以,我一怒之下发誓说:
‘他们绝不能进入我的安宁。’” (A)

12 兄弟们,你们要当心,谁也不要存罪恶和不信、背弃活生生的上帝之心。 13 只要还存在“今天” [a],你们就应该每天都互相鼓励,这样,你们才不会有人受到罪恶的愚弄,心肠变硬。 14 只要我们自始至终坚定不移地坚持我们当初的信仰,我们都会与基督共享。 15 正如《经》里写到的:

“今日,如果你们听到上帝的声音,
不要固执,
不要像过去那样对抗上帝。” (B)

16 谁是那听到了上帝的声音,却依然对抗上帝的人呢?难道不是那些被摩西领出埃及的人吗? 17 是谁惹怒了上帝整整四十年?难道不是那些做了孽、结果陈尸旷野的人吗? 18 上帝发誓不让谁从他那里得到安息呢?难道不是那些不服从上帝的人吗? 19 因此,我们知道,因为他们没有信仰,所以他们没有从上帝那里得到安宁。

Jesus Greater Than Moses

Therefore, holy brothers and sisters,(A) who share in the heavenly calling,(B) fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge(C) as our apostle and high priest.(D) He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.(E) Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses,(F) just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.(G) “Moses was faithful as a servant(H) in all God’s house,”[a](I) bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future. But Christ is faithful as the Son(J) over God’s house. And we are his house,(K) if indeed we hold firmly(L) to our confidence and the hope(M) in which we glory.

Warning Against Unbelief

So, as the Holy Spirit says:(N)

“Today, if you hear his voice,
    do not harden your hearts(O)
as you did in the rebellion,
    during the time of testing in the wilderness,
where your ancestors tested and tried me,
    though for forty years they saw what I did.(P)
10 That is why I was angry with that generation;
    I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray,
    and they have not known my ways.’
11 So I declared on oath in my anger,(Q)
    ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ (R)[b](S)

12 See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.(T) 13 But encourage one another daily,(U) as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.(V) 14 We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold(W) our original conviction firmly to the very end.(X) 15 As has just been said:

“Today, if you hear his voice,
    do not harden your hearts
    as you did in the rebellion.”[c](Y)

16 Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?(Z) 17 And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies perished in the wilderness?(AA) 18 And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest(AB) if not to those who disobeyed?(AC) 19 So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.(AD)
