Text for the Day -- Hebrews 3:1-6
----------
Therefore, brothers and sisters, holy partners in a heavenly calling,
consider that Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession,
was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses also 'was
faithful in all God's house.' Yet Jesus is worthy of more glory than
Moses, just as the builder of a house has more honour than the house
itself. (For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all
things is God.) Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a
servant, to testify to the things that would be spoken later. Christ,
however, was faithful over God's house as a son, and we are his house
if we hold firm the confidence and the pride that belong to hope.
Devotional
----------
The writer of Hebrews, in the early chapters of the book, establishes
that Jesus is superior to angels and to Moses. They were both
faithful to their tasks but they were different.. Moses was a servant
in God's house, Jesus was the son of the house. We are God's house
because of Jesus' death and resurrection and we continue as his house
as we live firm in the hope Jesus established for us.
Prayer
----------------
Lord, I am seeking to hold fast to the hope Jesus established for me.
Strengthen my resolve. Amen
