Today’s Scripture:

So all of you who are holy partners in a heavenly calling, let’s turn our attention to Jesus, the Emissary of God and High Priest, who brought us the faith we profess; 2 and compare Him to Moses, who also brought words from God. Both of them were faithful to their missions, to the One who called them. 3 But we value Jesus more than Moses, in the same way that we value a builder more than the house he builds. 4 Every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. 5 Moses brought healing and redemption to his people as a faithful servant in God’s house, and he was a witness to the things that would be spoken later. 6 But Jesus the Anointed was faithful as a Son of that house. (We become that house, if we’re able to hold on to the confident hope we have in God until the end.)

7 Listen now, to the voice of the Holy Spirit through what the psalmist wrote:

Today, if you listen to His voice,8 Don’t harden your hearts the way they did    in the bitter uprising at Meribah9 Where your ancestors tested Me    though they had seen My marvelous power.10 For the 40 years they traveled on    to the land that I had promised them,That generation broke My heart.Grieving and angry, I said, “Their hearts are unfaithful;    they don’t know what I want from them.”11 That is why I swore in anger    they would never enter salvation’s rest.[a]

12 Brothers and sisters, pay close attention so you won’t develop an evil and unbelieving heart that causes you to abandon the living God. 13 Encourage each other every day—for as long as we can still say “today”—so none of you let the deceitfulness of sin harden your hearts. 14 For we have become partners with the Anointed One—if we can just hold on to our confidence until the end.

15 Look at the lines from the psalm again:

Today, if you listen to His voice,Don’t harden your hearts the way they did    in the bitter uprising at Meribah.

16 Now who, exactly, was God talking to then? Who heard and rebelled? Wasn’t it all of those whom Moses led out of Egypt? 17 And who made God angry for an entire generation? Wasn’t it those who sinned against Him, those whose bodies are still buried in the wilderness, the site of that uprising? 18 It was those disobedient ones who God swore would never enter into salvation’s rest. 19 And we can see that they couldn’t enter because they did not believe.
