Study 3 From The Book of Hebrews Is: Hebrews 3:1-6
1. Verses 1, 6. Christians are here described as those who
confess Christ and respond to His call.
If these activities are to be fully meaningful, we must ‘consider
Jesus’s as our apostle and high priest. What, then can Christ do for us, and
what does He demand from us as (a) our Apostle, and (b) our High Priest?
2. Verses 2-5. Find three ways in these verses in which
Christ is said to excel Moses.
Notes
1. Verse 1. As ‘Apostle’ Jesus was
sent from God to men to revel; as ‘High Priest” He offered Himself for men to
God to redeem and to reconcile. C.f. 1:1, 2a, 3b; 2:3, 17; 4:14; 5:1; 8:1.
2. Verses 2-6. ‘God’s house’: this
refers to God’s people or household, not to the Tabernacle or Temple. Now it is we Christians who are God’s house.
Our heavenly calling makes us ‘holy brethren’ in God’s family (verse 1).
