Hebrews:3
Seeker Overlay ON
*
My brothers ,
you are holy .
You are also called to go to heaven .
Take time to think carefully about Jesus .
God sent him .
He is the high priest we believe in .
*
He did what God sent him to do ,
just as Moses did in Gods house .
*
But Jesus is much greater than Moses-as the one who builds a house is greater than the house itself .
*
Every house is built by someone ,
but God is the one who builds all things .
*
Moses did what he was told to do as a servant in all of Gods house .
He showed things that God would say later .
*
But Jesus Christ was true as a Son over Gods house .
We are Gods house if we keep on believing and telling others what we hope to have .
*
So as the Holy Spirit says ,
Today ,
when you hear me speak ,
do not make your hearts hard .
*
That is what happened when the people tested me in the desert and I became angry .
*
There your fathers tested me and tried me .
And they saw what I did for forty years .
*
So I was very angry with the people of that time .
I said , "
Their minds are always dark .
They have not known my ways ."
*
I said when I was angry , "
They will never go into my resting place ."
*
My brothers ,
take care that not one of you has a heart that does not believe .
Such a heart will take you away from the living God .
*
But talk to each other every day while Today lasts ,
so that wrong ways will not fool any one of you and your hearts become hard .
*
We have our part with Christ if we go on to the end and believe in him as we did at first .
*
God is still saying now ,
Today ,
when you hear me speak ,
do not make your hearts hard .
That is what happened when the people turned against me .
*
Who were the people who heard him and yet made him very angry ?
It was all the people whom Moses led out of the country of Egypt .
*
With whom was God angry for forty years ?
He was angry with the people who had done wrong .
And they died in the desert .
*
Who were the people God said would never go into his resting place ?
They were the people who would not listen to him .
*
So then ,
we see that they could not go in because they did not believe him .
