3. When someone builds a house, people will honor the builder more than the house. It is the same with Jesus. He should have more honor than Moses.
4. Every house is built by someone, but God built everything.
5. Moses was faithful as a servant in God’s whole house. He told people what God would say in the future.
6. But Christ is faithful in ruling God’s house as the Son. And we are God’s house, if we remain confident of the great hope we are glad to say we have.
7. So it is just as the Holy Spirit says: “If you hear God’s voice today,
8. don’t be stubborn as you were in the past, when you turned against God. That was the day you tested God in the desert.
9. For 40 years in the desert, your people saw what I did. But they tested me and my patience.
10. So I was angry with them. I said, ‘Their thoughts are always wrong. They have never understood my ways.’
11. So I was angry and made a promise: ‘They will never enter my place of rest.’” Psalm 95:7-11
12. So, brothers and sisters, be careful that none of you has the evil thoughts that cause so much doubt that you stop following the living God.
13. But encourage each other every day, while you still have something called “today.” Help each other so that none of you will be fooled by sin and become too hard to change.
14. We have the honor of sharing in all that Christ has if we continue until the end to have the sure faith we had in the beginning.
