Summary

Verse 1-6 • “Partakers of the heavenly calling” – Heb 6:4, 8:5, 9:23, 11:16, 12:22, Matt 6:9-10, Luke 11:13 i. Don’t be confused – Heavenly calling is different than a position in the heavens. • “Consider” – set your mind upon. The writer wants their audience to see how Jesus was a faithful high priest, more than Moses. • “Apostle and high priest” ii. Apostle = One sent forth with orders, messenger, delegate. iii. High Priest = Chief priest, holding the high priestly position – whenever you see priest mentioned you know its audience is Israel. • “Who was faithful to him that appointed him” – John 5:36, 17:4. • “As also Moses was faithful in all his house” – Exo 40:1-16, Num 12:1-8 • Verse 3 – Jesus is worthy of more honour than Moses being the builder of the house, Moses being part of it – Acts 7:38, Matt 16:18, 1Pet 2:5. • Verse 4 – A physical reality used to show a spiritual/biblical one – God is creator of all, the world (Col 1:16), Israel (Exo 4:22, Isa 64:8), Body of Christ (Eph 2:10). • “Moses… faithful…. In his house… as a servant” – Exo 14:31. i. “For a testimony of those things spoken after” – Deut 18:15-19, John 1:45, 5:46, Acts 3:22. ii. The things Christ would speak – Matt 4:17 • “Jesus…..faithful(vs2)…as son… over his house” – The writer in these verses is showing how Jesus Christ is greater than Moses. • “Whose house are we, if we hold fast” – Matt 10:22, Rev 2:25-26, Matt 6:14-15. If-Then = under the law. Verse 7-14 • “As the Holy Ghost saith” – The next few verses are quotes from Psalmd 95:7-11. • “Take heed” – A warning to not be like the generation in the wilderness that had unbelief and do not make it to the promised land. • “Exhort one another daily” – So that they do not slip, fall away. • “Partakers of Christ….if we hold…..Steadfast unto the end” – Matt 24:9-10 • “The beginning of our confidence” – vs 6, 10:35, 1John 2:27-28 (John 15:1-14), 3:18-24, 5:14. • “Unit the end” – 1Peter 1:7-13. Verse 15-4:1 • Vs 15 – Quoting Psalm 95:8 • Vs 16-19 – Using Israel in the wilderness ass an example – Num 14. • 4:1 - A warning to the remnant to not be like those in Israel in the day of they murmured again God and didn’t go in the land. • The remnant must trust God unto the end, even through the tribulation. • Old covenant Israel is an example for New covenant Israel, Not the body of Christ.
