—Hebrews 3:1-6
by: Linda Harris.
The writer compared and contrasted Moses and Jesus to show that God began his work in the events of the Old Testament, but was finishing his work in the New Testament through Jesus Christ. He used the illustration of a house, with Moses being a servant in God's house, but with Christ as the ruler of God's house. It's all too easy to live with regrets about the past and worries for the future, letting the present just slip by us. But when we fix our thoughts on Jesus (v. 1), we can live with courage for the present and hope for the future (v. 6). Living in this way proves that we are members of God's household.
