Reading along with us in 2 Kings, Acts, & Hebrews? Here’s today’s reading:
Hebrews 3 (NIV)
Jesus Greater Than Moses
1 Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest. 2 He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house. 3 Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.……Continue Reading

Back: 2 Kings 22
The writer here (heard an argument once that it was a verbal message of Paul’s written by Luke because the theology is Paul’s but the Greek is more like Luke) is showing how all the things that the Jews held dear, that Jesus is superior. That includes Moses. Moses represented God, Jesus is God. So we are to hold firmly to that conviction and live our lives like we do. We need to watch out that we don’t develop a hardened heart caused by unbelief and sin. When God tells us one thing and we do another, our hearts become hardened to His voice and His ways. So we need to encourage ourselves and others in the faith often and not fall into the patterns of unbelief that the Jews fell in.
Fix your thoughts on Jesus. See to it that your are not deceived by sin because sin creates an unbelieving heart that turns away from God. So lets encourage one another daily, reminding each other of the truth of God’s word. That he loves us, he forgives us, he saves us and he is with us through all the struggles and difficulties of life. Do not let your heart harden when you see, hear and experience these things. Instead, trust in the Lord and have faith.
Jesus did the work and our job is to believe, actively believe. Not something we once did but that we continue to do each day. The Israelites started strong, they believed enough to cross the Red Sea but we saw how the slippery slope of sin quickly diminishes that belief, weakens our faith. This is a great chapter to remind us that even when we start strong we need to continue to renew that belief by listening to His voice, keeping Him first, and remembering that He is bigger than anything else we might put before Him!
Hebrews 3
Jewish Christians reading this letter would take much meaning in much more than Moses Fix your eyes on Jesus. Moses lead people out of Egypt bondage. Jesus out of sins bondage to a promised land of eternal life in heaven. As God, Jesus appointed Moses. Just a man.
Hebrews 13:19 “So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.”
Hebrews 3
