Chapter 3
Greater than Moses
19 verses
Key verse — Hebrews 3:14
“For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end.”

The Apostle and High Priest

1Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,

2who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

3For this one has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who built the house has more honor than the house.

4For every house is built by someone, but he who built all things is God.

5And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of the things that would be spoken afterward,

6but Christ as a Son over his own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

Today, if you hear his voice

7Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you will hear his voice,

8do not harden your hearts as in the provocation, in the day of trial in the wilderness,

9where your fathers tested me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

10Therefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known my ways.’

11So I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter my rest.’”

12Take heed, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

13But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today, lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

14For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end,

15while it is said: “Today, if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the provocation.”

16For some, when they had heard, did provoke; yet not all who came out of Egypt by Moses.

17But with whom was he grieved forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?

18And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who did not believe?

19So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Devotional: Casting on the Right Side

John 21:1–14 (Focus on John 21:6) «"He said to them, 'Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.' So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish." — John 21:6 (ESV)» Empty Nets and Endless Effort After a long night of fishing, the disciples—experienced fishermen who knew the sea well—had nothing to show for their labor. Their nets were empty. Their bodies were exhausted. Their expectations had faded. They had relied on everything they knew: their experience, their skill, and their determination. Many of us know that feeling. We work harder, plan better, and keep trying to produce results through our own strength, yet our nets remain empty. Then Jesus appears on the shore. Although the disciples do not recognize Him at first, He gives them a remarkably simple instruction: «"Cast the net on the right side of the boat."» At first glance, the command almost seems unreasonable. The fish ...

Why we can't receive from God?

The Natural Man vs. the Spiritual Man: Unlocking Paul's Profound Divide In a world obsessed with self-help, intellect, and empirical proof, the Apostle Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 2:14 hit like a thunderclap: "The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit." This isn't just ancient philosophy—it's a timeless diagnosis of the human condition, explaining why so many brilliant minds stumble over simple truths like forgiveness, healing, or eternal life. Paul draws a stark line between the natural man (the unregenerate soul driven by fleshly impulses) and the spiritual man (the Spirit-indwelt believer attuned to God's wisdom). Understanding this divide isn't academic; it's the key to breaking free from cycles of defeat, sickness, and death. Let's explore this truth through Scripture, history, an...
