Jesus Greater Than Moses
Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partakers of a heavenly calling, think carefully about Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess,
who was faithful to Him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all His house.
For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, just as he who built the house has more honor than the house.
For every house is built by someone, but the one who built all things is God.
And Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things that were to be said later,
but Christ is faithful over His house as a son, and we are His house if we hold on firmly to our confidence and our boasting in the hope, to the end.
A Rest for the People of God
Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says, Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts, as they did in the rebellion, as in the day of the trial in the desert,
where your fathers put me to the test by trying me out, and saw my works for 40 years.
Therefore, I was disgusted with that generation, and said, “They always go astray in their heart.” Moreover, they did not know my ways,
so I swore in my wrath, “They will never enter into my rest!”
See to it, brothers and sisters, lest there will be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart leading you to fall away from the living God.
But exhort one another every day, so long as it is still called “today,” lest any one of you is hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
For we have become partners of Christ if we hold our original confidence firmly to the end.
As it is said, Today if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.
For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all those who came out of Egypt, led by Moses?
And with whom was he displeased 40 years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose carcasses lay where they fell in the desert?
And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient?
And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
