Hebrews 3:1-11
New Testament for Everyone
Jesus and Moses
3 Well then, my brothers and sisters: you are God’s holy ones, and you share the call from heaven. So think carefully about Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession of faith. 2 He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house. 3 He deserves much more glory than Moses, you see, just as the one who builds a house deserves more glory than the house. 4 For every house is built by someone, but the one who builds all things is God. 5 And “Moses was faithful, as a servant, in all his house,” thereby bearing witness to the things that were yet to be spoken of; 6 but the Messiah is over God’s house as a son. What is that house? It is us—those of us who hold on tightly to the boldness and confidence of our hope.
Today’s the time to listen!
7 So listen to what the holy spirit says:
Today, if you hear his voice,
8 don’t harden hearts, as in the great bitterness,
like the day in the desert when they faced the test,
9 when your fathers put me to the test, and challenged me,
and saw my works 10 for forty years.
And so I was angry with that generation,
and said, “They are always straying in their hearts,
they do not know my ways.” 11 As I swore
in my anger, “They’ll never enter my rest.”
