We are Jesus’ house
1 Therefore, brothers and sisters who are partners in the heavenly calling, think about Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession.
2
Jesus was faithful to the one who appointed him just like Moses was faithful in God's house.
3
But he deserves greater glory than Moses in the same way that the builder of the house deserves more honor than the house itself.
4
Every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.
5
Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant in order to affirm the things that would be spoken later.
6
But Jesus was faithful over God's house as a Son. We are his house if we hold on to the confidence and the pride that our hope gives us.
Respond to Jesus’ voice now
7 So, as the Holy Spirit says, Today, if you hear his voice,
8
don't have stubborn hearts as they did in the rebellion, on the day when they tested me in the desert.
9
That is where your ancestors challenged and tested me, though they had seen my work for forty years.
10
So I was angry with them. I said, "Their hearts always go off course, and they don't know my ways."
11
Because of my anger I swore: "They will never enter my rest!"
