God works in us, so that we can rest in him.

Jesus Christ is our high priest before God. He can represent us because he is both perfect in righteousness and knows our humanity.

Through Jesus Christ we have a high priest in Heaven who has been tempted and suffered in every way, but never sinned. Because of this, our high priest can sympathize in every way with us. Because of this, we have confidence in his strength and help as we go through our trials, temptations, hardships, and struggles.

Keep your heat humble, like Christ, to allow the Word of God to work in you.

The danger of hardening our hearts. If you hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts like the Exodus generation. When Moses brought the people out of Egypt, they didn’t trust God, and their hearts were hardened. Also, our generation, when we hear the good news of Jesus Christ, if our hearts are hardened, we are prevented from trusting him and entering his rest and inheritance that he has promised us.

Exhort one another everyday. Build one another up daily. Share your faith in Christ with one another - it’s so important, to keep our hearts centered on him!

Warning sign #2: Don’t let your hearts be hardened - don’t doubt.

Jesus is superior to Moses. Moses was a servant in God’s house. Jesus built God’s house. By his death on the cross for us, we become God’s house- the body of Christ - the Messiah!

As we remember Jesus during times of taking communion, we remember eating the bread and drinking the wine as representation of Jesus body and blood shed for us. At the same time Jesus likewise became flesh and blood, like us, in order that he could share in our humanity. In this way Jesus could share in all of our sufferings, our temptations, our struggles, and even our death. For this reason Jesus alone is able to fully understand our human condition, and help us with any need, even to the point of death, so that we can share in his eternal life.

Everything exists because of Jesus Christ. He created all things, and all things exist because of him. He is the foundation of our sanctification. Our sanctification occurred on the cross, with him. Because he took part in our flesh and blood, we take part in his flesh and blood through his sacrifice on the cross. Through Jesus we are now children of God, and his brothers in Christ.
