Mark A. Copeland 2. Speaking of the house of God, of which Jesus is the builder and over which He presides... a. The writer to the Hebrews affirms that “we” are the house of Christ 1) Speaking of the church, which is the house of God - cf. 1 Tim 3:15 2) In Christ, we are now “members of the household of God”, and together with the faithful saints of old (including Moses) we are now “fellow-citizens” in the commonwealth of Israel! - cf. Ep 2:11-22 b. Yet our status as the “house” is conditional! 1) “whose house we are if we hold fast....” - He 3:6 2) We must hold fast “the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.” Therefore the need for steadfastness, and the reason this epistle is filled with exhortations to that end! Indeed, the next exhortation begins in verse 7, which we shall examine in our next lesson (“A Warning From The Wilderness”). Is your faith wavering? Then heed the words of this epistle and “...consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus”. As you contemplate His person and His ministry, it should help you hold fast to your confession of faith! Sermons From Hebrews 22
INTRODUCTION A Warning From The Wilderness Hebrews 3:7-19 1. In the previous study, we considered “The Supremacy Of Jesus Over Moses”... a. Jesus was superior, not in faithfulness, but in His person and service b. Moses was a servant in the house of God c. Jesus, however, is the builder of the house, and serves as the Son over the house! Mark A. Copeland 2. In He 3:6, the writer to the Hebrews affirms that “we” are the house of Christ... a. Referring to the church, which is the house of God - cf. 1 Tim 3:15 b. For in Christ, we are now “members of the household of God”, and together with the faithful saints of old (including Moses) we are now “fellow-citizens” in the commonwealth of Israel! - cf. Ep 2:11-22 3. Yet our status as the “house” is conditional! a. “whose house we are if we hold fast....” - He 3:6 b. We must hold fast “the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.” 4. The need for steadfastness explains the exhortations in this epistle... a. We saw the first exhortation in He 2:1-4, regarding the danger of drifting b. Now we come to the second exhortation, regarding the danger of departing from the living God - He 3:7-19 [To warn against the danger of departing, the writer appeals to...] I. THE EXAMPLE OF ISRAEL IN THE WILDERNESS (7-11) A. ISRAEL HARDENED THEIR HEARTS... 1. The quotation in verses 7-11 is from Psa 95:7-11 a. In which the Holy Spirit warned Israel not to be like the fathers in the wilderness b. A warning which the Hebrew writer found just as necessary in his day 2. In the wilderness, the Israelites had... a. Hardened their hearts in rebelling against God b. Tested (tried) God with their lack of faith 3. This they did many times during the forty years of wandering, but especially... a. At the beginning, with the incident at Massah (tempted) and Meribah (contention) - cf. Exo 17:1-7 b. Toward the end, with the incident at Kadesh - Num 27:14; cf. 20:1-13 B. THEREFORE THEY DID NOT ENTER GOD’S REST... 1. God became angry with that generation in the wilderness for their persistent rebellion - e.g., Psa 106:13-33 2. So God swore that they would not enter His rest - cf. Num 14:22-24,26-35 a.
