Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest. 2 He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house. 3 Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. 4 For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. 5 “Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house,” bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future. 6 But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory.

The common themes of Hebrews are that Jesus is better than … everything and that we need to fix our thoughts, our gaze, and our presence on Him.  It is a similar concept to Jesus’ own words to His disciples in the vine and branches passage in John 15 when He tells us all to abide or remain in Him.  Moses certainly was extremely foundational in building of the Jewish and Christian faith.  That faith however is all about Jesus.  Jesus is our Messiah, our Savior, our conqueror of sin and death and our friend.  The more we abide in Him the greater God uses us to produce fruit in our lives and the more our lives represent the love He calls us to share.

In His Grip,
Pastor Dave
