Today I'm going to read Hebrews chapter 3 and the next verses. We have stopped actually in the second verse of chapter 3, but let me read once again verses 3 to 6. There's a lot more to glean from this chapter, from these verses. And the point here that we learn in Hebrews chapter 3 is the superiority of Yeshua the Messiah over Moses. When we believe in the Lord Jesus, he is greater than Moses, and we can be so thankful to the Lord for that. Hebrews 3, verse 3. For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath built the house hath more honor or is more honorable than the house itself.

For every house is built by some man, but he that builded all things is God. And Moses verily was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after. But Christ, but Mashiach, as a son over his own house, Whose house are we, if or since we hold fast the confidence and rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. Now, those verses are so important to understand because it helps us to appreciate why we, as believers in the Lord Jesus the Messiah, trust in him. Why we are so confident that he is the one, the answer for mankind, is because the Bible teaches us that he is greater than everyone that came before him.

And in this particular passage, those Hebrew believers have been encouraged to follow the Lord because he was greater not only than the angels, chapter 1 and 2, but also greater than Moses. Now remember, brothers and sisters, that for the Jewish people, for the Hebrews, Moses was very important. Moses is still important. Coming back from Israel, I can see how Moses is so important to our own people, to our own family, to our own nation, by the very fact that they are clinging to everything that Moses had done, had said, had written. To such an extent that nothing goes beyond what Moses had said. Moses, the lawgiver, is so unique for the Hebrews, to the Jewish people.

But here the writer is telling to those early believers, he says, listen, I know Moses is great. I know Moses is very important to our people. But I wanted to understand that Yeshua, the Messiah, is greater than him. And therefore, don't go back. Don't decline from following the law. Don't go back into the sacrificial system. Follow after Yeshua, the Messiah. Even though Moses is such a great, great man in the history of the nation of Israel. And so you remember, in the first two verses, which we have already covered, he told them in the first couple of verses that they were called holy brethren. They were partakers of the heavenly calling.

They were to consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Yeshua the Messiah. He called them holy brethren. You remember we said we know that they are sanctified, set apart. They are brethren, but they are brethren who have been set apart for the Lord. He called them partakers of the heavenly calling to make them understand that not only did they have an earthly calling as the nation of Israel had, but now as believers in the Lord Jesus, they had a heavenly calling. You know, you and I, even though we live in homes, we drive cars, we live in this land, actually, heaven is our home.

We have been called with a heavenly calling. We have a hope one day to be with the Lord Jesus in heaven. We will be absent from this world with all its problems. One day we are going to be with the Lord. We have a heavenly calling. In my Father's house, the Lord Jesus said, there are many mansions, and he said, I go to prepare a place for you. Then he told them, listen, he said to them, I want you to consider the apostle, the sent one, and the high priest, the Messiah, the Lord Jesus, Yeshua. Consider him look at him he is the one that was sent by the father and we did talk about it in our last meeting i do not want to elaborate anymore over these verses and then in verse 2 he's saying about the Lord Yeshua the Messiah that he was faithful he was faithful to him that appointed him just like Moses was faithful in all his house and so that's where we stop in the last message i want you to notice by the way brothers and sisters that he doesn't put Moses down here he doesn't cut him down he doesn't say Moses is bad and Jesus is better Moses is bad and Yeshua is good he doesn't say that he's saying Moses was faithful and Yeshua was faithful just like Moses but now when we move on now you notice in the next verses verses three four five and six those are the verses that i want to speak about today you notice by the way that seven time the.

Word house is mentioned you understand seven time the word house in verse two it said that Moses was faithful in all his house verse three it says this man was counted worthy more than Moses in as much He who has builded the house has more honor than the one than the house itself. And then it says in verse 4, For every house is built by some men, but he that built us all things is God. Verse 5 it says, Moses was verily faithful in all his house. Then verse 6 it said, But the Messiah has the Son over his own house, whose house are we? You notice seven times the word house is mentioned.

And this is interesting to understand because at time it speaks about the house of God as the nation of Israel. And at a time it's spoken about the house of God as the assembly, the church, the congregation of the Lord Jesus the Messiah. It's speaking about two houses really here. The first house of course has to do with the nation of Israel Israel many times we read about Moses and all his house is the house of God Moses was faithful and Israel was the nation whom he was responsible over and then of course the second time he speaks about the house the second verse six it has to do with the house of God with the church of the Lord Jesus the Messiah with the believers in this present day so we are talking about two houses one the house of Israel the other one is the house the body of Messiah two different houses Moses was faithful in all his house under the old covenant the mosaic covenant Yeshua was faithful in his house under the new covenant the present day dispensation of the grace of God two houses we have to kind of distinguish this here as we are reading and studying these verses and by the way many times God says oh house of Israel oh house of Israel and when he's speaking about the house of Israel of course he's speaking about.

The nation of Israel under the old testament economy and when we're talking about the Lord Jesus the Messiah he is responsible over his house under the present day dispensation of the grace of God so now let's move on with these verses and i want you first of all to notice in verses three and four that Yeshua is worthy to receive more glory than Moses because he is the one that builded he's the architect he is the one that is the creator of this house while Moses was not a builder he was part of the house notice he said for this man the word for man here is applied to the Lord Jesus the Messiah this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses why in as much as he who has builded the house has more honor than the house itself you see he's telling to these Hebrew believers he's saying to them you notice one is part of the house the other one is the.

Creator or the builder of the house well to whom you're going to give more glory more honor well obviously to the one who built the house i'll give you an example if you and i intend to build a house we buy a lot piece of land and we're asking for somebody to build for us a house well the one who built the house who put the bricks one on top of the other is the one who has actually the master, the one who is the master the creator, the builder of that particular house he is greater than the house itself than the bricks and the cement and the wood and the parts that he has put together in order to build a house this is an interesting thing because sometime in the Bible when we are talking about a house we are talking about a literal building like we have here we are in the meeting room right now the cement these bricks these blocks up blocks here and somebody built this house but it is made out of bricks and cement and wood.

But sometimes when the Bible is talking about the house it doesn't talk about the bricks and cement and wood but the Bible talking about the spiritual house it is house that is not made with hands it is the house that is that has to do not with bricks but with people that's why if you remember many times when I share the word of God I tell you that it's not correct to say I go to church because the church in this present day is not the bricks and the stones and the wood but the church are the people that are believers in the Lord Jesus the Messiah and that's why he's saying here that this man was counted more worthy than Moses to receive glory why because he who has built the house the master maker the creator the builder the architect is greater than the house itself that's why he's saying this now i want us to see for a moment how it is talked about.

In the old testament in the book of Samuel could you turn with me to second Samuel please for a moment i wanted to see how it had been spoken about second Samuel chapter 7 you know in second Psalm chapter 7 David wanted to build a house for God you remember that in second Psalm chapter 7 it says listen in the first verses and it came to pass when the king sat in his own house and the Lord had given him rest around about or from all his enemies this was king David that the king said unto nathan the prophet see nathan said look i dwell in a house of cedar but the ark of God dwell with in curtains in a tent and nathan said to the king you go and do whatsoever you will you see here David is sitting in his own house of cedar apparently he got a lot cedar cedar of lebanon and he built a great castle for himself a humongous house for himself.

And then he look at the ark of the covenant and he sees it sitting in a tent in a tent meeting in a place in a tent so David says it's not right David says i have to do something how is it possible that i am dwelling in such a beautiful big house made out of wood cedar wood and the ark of the covenant is in a tent something is not right so David intended to build a house to build a temple for the Lord but now notice the flip the other side of it while David wanted to build the house for the Lord God is telling David David listen you know i'm very nice that you want to build me a house but David i want to tell you i am going to build a house for you and he didn't mean i'm going to build a house for you made out of city of lebanon but i am going to build a spiritual house that will last forever for a long period of time i'm jumping down in second.

Samuel and notice it says here in verse 12 2nd Samuel 7 verse 12 and when thy days be fulfilled God is saying and you will sleep with your father I will set up thy seed after thee which shall proceed out of thy bowels and I will establish his kingdom and he shall build a house for my name speaking about Solomon was going to do but then he continuing down and he's saying in the next verses he says in verse 14 I will be his father and he shall be a son unto me and if he commit iniquities and so on I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the stripes of the children of men but my mercy shall not depart away from him as i took it from Saul whom i put away from before thee and then he said thine house and thy kingdom shall be established forever before thy throne shall be established forever you see you understand verse 16 thine house thy kingdom shall be established forever before thee thy throne shall be established forever and so God.

Is saying now to David your house shall be established forever he doesn't talk about the building like this he's talking about the spiritual house of David the descendants of David which will come after him David and then Solomon and then Solomon's son and then Solomon's son son he's talking about the spiritual house of David which God is going to establish and he said it twice he's saying that it will be established forever and so the lesson is here for us beloved brothers and sisters that Moses was the one who served in the house of God but the Lord Jesus the Messiah deserve more glory than Moses because he is the one that is the builder the creator the architect of this house and he deserved to receive more glory than Moses this is what verse 3 is teaching us for this man counted worthy of more glory than Moses in as much as he who has built the house has more honor than the house itself and in verse 4 he continues and he says for every house is.

Built by some men but he that built all things is God interesting here in these verses we learn also again in another fact that the Bible teaches about the deity of the Messiah in verse 3 it says this man in verse 4 he says God he's showing to us that Yeshua is not only a man but he's also a divine person he's also God he builds everything this man was counted worthy of more honor than Moses in as much that he is the one that built the house is greater than the house itself and so that's what verses three and four is teaching us Moses was great but Yeshua as the master builder as the creator is greater than Moses and deserve to receive more honor and more glory than Moses now he continuing in verse five and in verse five he's continued to tell us how while Moses was faithful Moses was faithful as a servant but the Lord Jesus he was faithful but he was not a servant.

But he was a son over his house Moses was a servant serving in the house Yeshua was a son over the house of God you notice that in verse 5 it says and Moses verily was faithful in all his house as a servant for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after. And then verse 6, it says, but the Messiah, this is Yeshua, as a son was over his own house, whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. Now Moses was a servant and the Lord Jesus was a son Moses served in the house Yeshua was serving over the house you see he's showing them the difference between Moses and Yeshua the Messiah and that's why he's telling them again and again he's showing to them that the Lord Jesus the Messiah is greater than and his man by the name of Moses.

Now, he doesn't knock Moses down. He doesn't tell the believers there that Moses is no good and Jesus is good. He doesn't say that. But he's showing to them that while Moses was so important for Israel, Yeshua is greater. He's more important. He's the one that we can trust in him, we can follow after him, and we should so because he is the one that is superior than all what came before him and those two verses really indicate to us the importance of Yeshua the superiority of Yeshua over Moses the servant of the Lord now how about us you know when we're talking about serving the Lord how about you and I how are we in a service for the Lord you know it's easy to serve the Lord when things are going well it's easy to serve the Lord when there's no problems and things are easy everybody's happy with us and things are well it's very easy to serve the Lord you know we are doing some things for the Lord things are easy this way but what happened with our problems coming in our lives when there are challenges at facing you see these Hebrews for example they had to face a lot of problems they had to face the rejection of their own brethren they had to face the misunderstanding.

By the leaders of Israel they had to face separating from their family their mothers fathers brothers sisters children they had to face these things rejection of their own people and they have a lot to lose if you will if they are going to forsake the things that have been taught so much up to this point but they were encouraged by the writer to say no they haven't lost anything when they have accepted Yeshua when they follow Yeshua the Messiah they were actually pleasing the father pleasing God and receiving the many many blessings that God have intended for them i want you to see the importance of this here in those two verses you notice that he's saying in verse six but the Messiah was faithful as a son over his own house and then he says whose house are we he doesn't talk about the building he's saying we are the house of God do you know that you and i we are being actually the house of God wherever we are let's say we are here in this.

Meeting room today and we are moving out of this meeting room and we are going outside to visit a friend we are part of this house of God we haven't changed nothing has changed then we have left and we have gone to another location we are still part of the house of God we haven't stopped to be the house of God but as the house of God oftentimes we are being unfaithful and we know that we know that individually in our own heart we know it collectively we know that many times we are not being the way we should be that's why he's saying to them that we be in the house of God and we need to as it said at the end of verse 6 since we hold with confidence and the rejoicing of the hope Firm all the way unto the end.

Now, I know that a lot of Christians use this verse, verse 6. It says, if we hold fast the confidence and rejoicing of the hope unto the end. In other words, if. What about if we will stop to be faithful one time? What about if we fail in action one day? What happened to our eternal relationship with the Lord? I want to suggest that the word here, if, should actually not be said as if, but the word since should be replacing the word if here, because we know that we are not keeping ourselves. We can't keep ourselves saved to the end. We can't because we are failing creatures.

We are failing people. Our salvation is not dependent on our performance, but our salvation depends upon the work of the Lord Jesus the Messiah. But it is also true that a believer, though he fail and stumble here and there, it is important for a believer to confess his or her sins, to get up and to continue on in living for the Lord in spite of difficult times. Now I've got a few verses that I want us to see because he's saying that we are the house of God. I want you to see how he means when he uses this expression, the house of God. So the first verse I want you to turn to is the book of Corinthian, 1 Corinthians chapter 6.

1 Corinthians chapter 6, the first time he mentioned about us being the temple of God is found in 1 Corinthians 6.19. There he is dealing with the individual body in 1 Corinthians 6.19. He says there, Don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye have been bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit which belong to God. Here's the first verse. Now you know the body that we have is the very same body that the Holy Spirit of God is dwelling in that body. But how often we have used this body in a way that is not honoring to the Lord.

God, the spirit, is indwelling. You see, your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit of God. And how many times we have took this body of ours and use it in a way that is not pleasing to the Lord. Now, does that mean that all of a sudden the Holy Spirit of God is no longer dwelling in this temple? All of a sudden the Holy Spirit of God is not dwelling in our body? No, it doesn't mean so. What it means when we sin against the Lord that we have grieved the Holy Spirit of God, that we have hurt him, and that we cannot have liberty.

We don't have liberty unless we confess it and say, Lord, I have sinned before you. I have sinned before you. And that's why he's saying, don't you know? He's appealing to them. He doesn't tell them, now that you have sinned, you are no longer belong to the Lord. You are no longer a child of God. He doesn't say that. But what he's saying, that we have to realize every day of our life that our bodies is the temple where the Spirit of God is indwelling. And that we don't belong to ourselves. We have been bought with the price. And the price was the blood that the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, shed on the tree.

We have been bought with a price. Now, you know, it's going to make a difference in our lives if we are going to memorize that deep in our head, our hearts, our conscience, that there was a price that had been paid in order to bring us to a relationship with the Lord. The price was the death of the Lord Jesus on the cross. You have been bought with a price. And then he says, because you have been bought with a price, glorify God in your body and in your spirit which belong to God. Glorify the Lord. Live a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

Because you are the house of God, he's saying. You, your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit of God. So 1 Corinthians chapter 6 has to do with the body. Which is the temple of the Holy Spirit of God. It is the body of the individual where the Spirit of God is indwelling. Now in 2 Corinthians chapter 60 is another verse. And I want you to turn there. In 2 Corinthians chapter 60, it doesn't speak about the individual body as much, but it's talking about the collective testimony of the people of God together. And so in 2 Corinthians chapter 6 and verse 16, he's talking to the collective assembly when they are together.

He says in verse 16, What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God. Notice the word ye, he's talking about plural now. In 1 Corinthians 6 is your body. In 2nd Corinthians 6 is the collective believers when we are together. And that's why he's saying, you believers, you are the temple of the living God. And God said, I will dwell in them. I will walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people. That's what he's saying now in 2nd Corinthians chapter 6. He's now talking about us collectively. Remember again he doesn't talk about the bricks he doesn't talk about cedar wood he doesn't talk about cement he doesn't talk about big crosses on a big building he's talking about us like Hebrews 3, 6 says you are the house of God 1 Corinthians, Paul is saying to the Corinthians ye are the temple of the living God and God said I am going to dwell with them You know, every time when we gather together, every time, you might not realize that, and I might not realize that, but the Lord Jesus is in the midst of his own people.

Every time. That's why when we come together, it is so important to have a sense of confession before the Lord. We don't have to do it publicly, to come quietly before the Lord and say, Lord we believe that you are in our midst today we don't see you Lord we only see the things around the people around we don't see you but in spirit the Lord had promised to be in the midst of his own people where two or three are gathered together unto my name Yeshua said there am I in the midst of them do we believe it do I believe it we sometimes don't believe it we look at each other's faces we are busy with each other's action and what they do and who they are where they go and where they've come from and all this but if we will realize that the Lord is in the midst of his own people like he says here you are the temple ye the plurality you are the temple of the living God God says i will dwell in them i will walk in them i will be their God and they shall be my.

People that's what God is saying and this is exactly what happened even right this moment as i'm speaking today as we are here sitting quietly to listen to the word of God the Lord Jesus is in the midst of his own people and here he is the center and so you see when he's saying in Hebrews 3 and verse 6 the Messiah is a son over his own house whose house are we he is not talking about cement and wood he's talking about us individual believer when a person become a believer in the Lord Jesus the Messiah this person can go anywhere this person is part of the house of God is a little brick in that building that is composing the house of God so that was second Corinthians 6 and verse 16 now go to Ephesians please chapter 2 and I'm just talking still about the house of God and in Ephesians chapter 2 Paul again writing about the house of God and that we, believers, are that particular house.

In verse 18 of chapter 2, Paul is saying, verse 18 of Ephesians 2, For through him we both, this is Jews and Gentiles, have access by one spirit to the Father. Verse 19, Therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the same end of the household of God. Here's this expression again. You are fellow citizens, you are saints, end of the household of God, verse 19, then verse 20. And you are built upon the foundation of the apostles and the prophets, Yeshua the Messiah himself being the chief cornerstone. In whom all the buildings fitly frame together, growing unto a holy temple in the Lord, in whom ye also are built together for a habitation of God through the Spirit.

Here's again, now he's writing to the Ephesians, and he is explaining to the non-Jewish, non-Hebrew believers, he says, you know, now you are fellow citizens. Now you are part of the body of Messiah. A composition of Jew and non-Jew together and you are fitly built together you are fitted together as he says to them it's a building fitly framed together growing together into a temple in the Lord and that's what happened beloved brothers and sisters you and i are built together we are making the house of God now sometimes sometimes we are not in the enjoyment of the place that God has given us to be but nevertheless you and I are the house where the Lord Jesus the Messiah is dwelling in the midst of his own people and that's why he's greater than Moses Moses was a servant Yeshua was an heir a son Moses was a servant in the house Yeshua as it says a son over a house that belonged unto him and that's what he's emphasizing here in these verses now the question at the end here in the end of verse 6 is how are we when we look at Moses as a faithful servant we have to ask.

Ourselves the question and that's why earlier Ron read the verses in Matthew chapter 25 and you remember in Matthew chapter 25 there's the story of the Lord Jesus who is going to a far country and he gives gifts he gives abilities to every individuals and we are to deal with it we are to live our lives here building and using the talents and the gifts that the Lord had given to us for himself because one day he's coming back and he's going to ask us this question what have you done with what I've given to you to use with the gifts that I've given to you with the talents that I've given to you have you been faithful with these things and you remember the two of them in Matthew chapter 25 he says a well done good and faithful servant you have been faithful in little i will give you much he said enter into the joy of your Lord but there was one servant there that did not.

Do it was not faithful he was not faithful at all in fact when we read in this 25th chapter of the gospel of Matthew if you remember actually we didn't read this passage but there's one person there it says here and he which he received the one talent came into the Lord and he says i knew that you are a hard man ripping where you are not sewing and so on and then he said i was afraid here is the one talent that you gave me take it and you know what the Lord says he says take therefore the one talent that he had give it unto him which has the ten talent for unto everyone that has shall be given and he shall have an abundance but unto him that has not it shall be taken away even that which he has and he says cast away this unprofitable servant into the outer darkness where there should be whipping and gnashing of teeth and the lesson for us is to realize that the Lord.

Jesus the Messiah is superior than Moses and to seek to live a faithful life for the Lord and when we fail when we are not honoring the Lord just simply to confess it before him and to have help from him to help us to forsake that which is dishonoring unto him now in these verses by the way if you look at these verses together verses 1 to 6 of Hebrews chapter 3 you will notice that there are seven proves that the Messiah Yeshua is greater than Moses let me point those seven to you if you want to write this down seven points or seven proves that Yeshua the Messiah is greater than Moses the first one is in verse one while Moses was sent by God the Lord Yeshua the Messiah is the sent one the apostle notice it says verse one wherefore holy brethren partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the apostle and high priest of our profession, Yeshua the Messiah.

Moses was a sent one, but Yeshua is the sent one. There were many that God had sent to serve in the midst of the nation of Israel, but there's only one that God has sent and he called him the sent one the word apostle apostolos in Greek in Hebrew shaliach it simply means that he was sent by God but the one the supreme one he was the one that was sent by God that's the first one the second one is in found in verse three and there while Moses was a member of the house of God's house Yeshua is the one who built the house it says in verse 3 for this man speaking about Yeshua the Messiah was counted worthy of more glory than Moses why inasmuch as he who has built the house has more honor than the house itself you see Moses was part of the house of God Yeshua is the one who built the house and therefore he's greater than Moses because he.

Built the house he put you and i he put us into the house of God he saved us and he put us as a brick that is part of the house but he's the master builder he's the one who built the house that's number two look at the third one in verse four while Moses was involved in one house Yeshua it says here is building everything he built all houses and of course this is a reference to him as God and that is found in verse four for every house is built by some men but he that build all things is God see again here's the comparison Moses was as he says involved in being part of one house this is the house of God the nation of Israel but God built everything God is the one who's chosen the nation of Israel God is the one that has built the assembly the church of the Lord Jesus the Messiah here's the comparison God is over everything Jesus the Messiah is over everything he is that God that we are talking about.

While Moses was involved in part of the house that God had built now this is the third one notice the fourth one the fourth one is Moses was mere man but Yeshua was divine and that's again found in verse three and four and again it says you see this man in verse three is none else but God himself and we already saw it in Hebrews chapter one if you remember when we study but unto the son he said thy throne oh God is forever and ever and you see the Lord Jesus is more than just a man he is divine he is God and even though Moses is a great man Moses was just a man but the Lord Jesus the Messiah is divine and we can trust him we can receive forgiveness of sins through him and that's why he's superior than Moses in these fourth ways now he is God while Moses was only a man that's number four look at number five the fifth thing that we learn is also from verses 5 and 6 now.

Is that while Moses was a servant, the Lord Jesus was a son. There is a difference between a servant and a son. Verse 5 I'm reading. Moses verily was faithful in all his house as a servant. Verse 6. But the Messiah is a son. You see the difference? Moses was a servant, great servant, faithful servant, but the Lord Jesus is the son the son is the heir the son is the one that God gives him everything he is the one who received everything Moses was a good servant but Yeshua was the son and that's the fifth way in which he's greater than Moses in these verses now notice the six way in which he's greater than Moses in verse 5 it says Moses spoke prophetically but Yeshua fulfilled all what was spoken by Moses himself I'm reading verse 5 again Moses was verily faithful in all his house as a servant and notice he continued the verse giving a testimony or for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken of after Moses was speaking of things to come Moses you remember what he said in Deuteronomy chapter 18 a servant like unto me God will raise from among you Moses was speaking prophetically he was the one that was really a forerunner speaking about the Messiah who will come in a future day he was only speaking prophetically he.

Was not the fulfillment he was only speaking of as a testimony as it says here for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken of after he was speaking of the shadow why the Lord Jesus the Messiah was the fulfillment in Hebrews chapter 8 in verse 5 we read who serve unto an example and shadow of heavenly things as Moses was admonishing of God when he was about to make the tabernacle for see he said that you will make all things according to the Padre and showed to thee in the mount he was speaking about shadows but the Lord Jesus was the fulfillment like we have in Hebrews 10 verse 1 for the law having a shadow of good things to come and not the very image of the things can never with those sacrifices which they offer year by year continually make the comers there unto perfect but then he says he's speaking about the Lord Jesus the Messiah who came to fulfill that which he Moses had been speaking about the.

Law and what Moses had given was only a shadow but we have in the Messiah we have the fulfillment of what God had given to us through Moses so this is number six Moses was prophetically speaking about the future the Lord Jesus the Messiah is a fulfillment of all things and here's the final one the final one is also found in verses five and six Moses was in the house as a servant but Yeshua was over the house as a son again i'm reading verses five and six for Moses fairly was faithful in all his house as a serpent verse 6 but the Messiah is a son over his own house you see the difference Moses was in the house as part of the house Yeshua was over the house as in charge over the house which he himself has built and so beloved brothers and sisters here's an encouraging words that the writer give to those Hebrews Moses is a great servant Moses is a faithful servant.

But the Lord Jesus the Messiah deserved to receive more glory than Moses inasmuch that he is the son he is the creator, he is the builder, he is over the house, and therefore you've got to continue to follow after the Lord Jesus. Now that has been touching a very important part in the hearts of these Jewish Hebrew believers. Because remember, I often mention this before, you and I today don't have the issues that they had then. They had a temple standing. We don't they had a priest of a sacrifice we don't they have an altar in the temple we don't they had the sacrifices on the altar we don't they had a family associated with this with the whole nation of Israel we don't in many ways and therefore for them it must have been so hard to make a decision for the Lord Jesus the Messiah to be rejected by their families their brethren their people for them it must have been so down deep in their hearts it was a real message to speak to their own hearts for us today it's also speaking to us as well but it is in a different way we have it much easier than those early Hebrew believers of the time when these verses had been written therefore we are much more responsible therefore we are much more obligated to God to respond to what he tell us what he called us for that's why we have no excuse no excuse when we understand what the Lord and Jesus the Messiah have done for us we have no.

Excuse we need to respond to his call and to continue to follow after him and we can hold by the grace of God hold on in confidence for the end of verse 6 rejoicing for the hope unto the day unto the end when he's going to come and take us to be with him at home i'm not going to continue from verse 7 at this time but all the for verse 7 all the way to chapter 4 and verse 13 we have the second warning that he is giving to those Hebrews and we're going to talk about it Lord willing in our next message together the second warning that he's warning them to continue on and while the first warning was in chapter 2 don't neglect the hearing of what God has said in chapter 3 verse 7 is the second warning don't doubt what God had said to us in his word and Lord willing we are going to talk about it in our next meeting together may the Lord help us and bless us as we hear his word.
