📖 Hebrews introduction

Read the chapter

1Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus, ✦ 2who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house. ✦ 3For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house. ✦ 4For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God. ✦ 5And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward, ✦ 6but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end. ✦ 7Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you will hear His voice, ✦ 8Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial in the wilderness, ✦ 9Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, And saw My works forty years. ✦ 10Therefore I was angry with that generation, And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, And they have not known My ways.’ ✦ 11So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ” ✦ 12Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; ✦ 13but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. ✦ 14For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, ✦ 15while it is said: “Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” ✦ 16For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? ✦ 17Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? ✦ 18And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? ✦ 19So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. ✦

Christ at the center

Hebrews is sustained worship of Christ: better than angels, Moses, and the priests; the great High Priest after Melchizedek who by one sacrifice perfects forever those he saves.

How Hebrews 3 points to him is part of the one story that runs through all Scripture — meet Jesus at the heart of the web, or follow a trail that traces him from Genesis to Revelation.
