Christ is greater than Moses and Joshua
3
📚✭Therefore✭, holy✭ brethren, sharers in the heavenly calling✭, consider the Apostle✭ and High Priest✭ of our confession, Christ Jesus, 2 📚✭who was faithful to him who appointed him, as Moses also was faithful in all his house. 3 📚✭For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, since he who has built the house has more honour than the house. 4 📚For every house is built by someone, but he who built all things is God. 5 📚✭And Moses as a servant was indeed faithful in all his house, as a testimony to those things which were to be spoken afterwards, 6 📚but Christ as a son over his own house; whose house we are✭, if✭ we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end. THE SECOND WARNING: Do not be disobedient or unbelieving
7 📚✭Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says✭,
Today✭ if you will hear his voice,
8 📚do not harden your hearts,
as in the provocation✭,
in the day of testing in the desert,
9 📚when your fathers tested me,
proved me, and saw my works forty years✭.
10 📚Therefore I was grieved✭ with that generation,
and said, They always go astray✭
in their heart,
and they have not known my ways.
11 📚So I swore in my wrath✭,
They will not enter my rest✭.
12 📚✭Watch✭, brethren, so that there may not be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God, 13 📚✭but encourage each other daily, while it is called “today”, lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 📚✭For we have become sharers with Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm to the end; 15 📚✭while it is said,
Today if you will hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts,
as in the provocation.
16 📚For some, when they had heard, did provoke God; however not all✭ that came out of Egypt✭ by Moses. 17 📚✭But with whom was he grieved forty years? Was it not with those who had sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the desert? 18 📚✭And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who refused to believe✭? 19 📚So we see that they could not enter because of unbelief.
