Bible Answer: Barbara, the first 6 verses of Hebrews 3 establishes that Christ is superior to Moses. The writer lists 3 categories: (1) Both were faithful (2) But Christ is the builder of the house, whereas Moses was but a servant in the house (3) Christ is a Son over the house, but Moses was only a servant in the house. Verse 1 is particularly interesting, because it calls Jesus the Apostle and High Priest of our confession. These are two of the many titles for Jesus in the New Testament. Verses 7-19 speak of the catastrophe of unbelief. The quotation of verses 7-11 is from Psalm 95:7-11. The writer applies (12-15 the experiences of Israel when they came out of Egypt under Moses' leadership. In verses 16-19 Israel's sins are described as (1) provocation or rebellion (2) disobedience and (3) unbelief. The consequences of unbelief and the cure for unbelief are treated of in Chapter 4. A practical lesson in this passage is that the same sins and errors into which the Israelites fell are clear and present dangers for God's people in any age. --Hank |
