Greater Than Moses

Moses was faithful in God’s house. Jesus was faithful in all appointed to Him.

Jesus has the greater glory because Moses was a servant in God’s house, but Jesus is the builder of the house. Jesus is over God’s house. We are the house and He is the head of the house.

I think this is a unique line to Hebrews where it says we’re to hold fast to “our boasting in our hope.”

What does it mean to boast in our hope? We have no boast in ourselves. Our boast is in Jesus and what He has done, is doing, and will do for us.

We keep reading Psalms within Hebrews. This one is a warning about not entering God’s rest. They would fall away by having an unbelieving heart.

We hold fast to the faith. We just have to believe. Our work is to believe. Our work is to believe in Jesus as our Savior. We believe, trusting Him to save us from our sin, to be cleansing us from our sin and removing our unrighteousness as we abide, as we walk in the Light.

Sin wants to deceive. Hold fast to the Truth. The Truth is a Person.

Sin wants to say that you have a choice. Sin wants to say that you can decide what you want to do. Sin wants to say God has let you down and you know better. Sin wants to say that God has to forgive and bring you to the Promised Land and your complaining and selfishness don’t matter. Sin wants you to believe it’s impossible to choose to say no to sin and to instead choose righteousness, so God doesn’t expect you to. Sin is evil and wants you to die in your sins instead of living in the freedom of salvation from sin.

There’s no rest in sin. Sin steals, kills, and destroys. Righteousness is our defense. Holiness is our means to seeing God.

Our righteousness and sanctification are God’s work. Just believe.
