Hebrews

Jesus Our Apostle and High Priest

1Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, set your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.+ 2He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.+ 3For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.+ 4And every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.+ 5Now Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be spoken later.+ 6But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are His house, if we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope of which we boast.+

Do Not Harden Your Hearts

Psalm 95:1–11

7Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear His voice,+ 8do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness,+ 9where your fathers tested and tried Me, and for forty years saw My works.+ 10Therefore I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known My ways.’+ 11So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’”+

The Peril of Unbelief

12See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God.+ 13But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.+ 14We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first.+ 15As it has been said: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion.”+ 16For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?+ 17And with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?+ 18And to whom did He swear that they would never enter His rest? Was it not to those who disobeyed?+ 19So we see that it was because of their unbelief that they were unable to enter.+
