George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Hebrews 3:14

You have already been made partakers of the benefits of Christ, at your conversion and baptism, to the beginning of his substance, [2] by which seems to be understood the faith of Christ. (Witham) --- If to subsist in Jesus Christ, to be washed in his blood, to be animated with his spirit, to be nourished with his flesh, is but a sketch, a seed of that union with him which on a future day is to be effected, how comes it that we are so attached to this earth, how can we hazard for such a mere... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 3:14-19

14-19 The saints' privilege is, they are made partakers of Christ, that is, of the Spirit, the nature, graces, righteousness, and life of Christ; they are interested in all Christ is, in all he has done, or will do. The same spirit with which Christians set out in the ways of God, they should maintain unto the end. Perseverance in faith is the best evidence of the sincerity of our faith. Hearing the word often is a means of salvation, yet, if not hearkened to, it will expose more to the Divine... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Hebrews 3:1-99

Hebrews 3 THE FIRST CHAPTER has presented to us the Lord Jesus as the Apostle, that is, as the Sent One, who came forth from God to us, bringing us the Divine revelation. The second set Him before us as the High Priest, who has gone in from us to God, representing us and maintaining our cause in His presence. Now we are bidden to consider Him very thoroughly in both these characters. We are to set our minds to it as those who aim at discovering all that is involved. These Hebrews had taken up... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Hebrews 3:7-14

A warning lesson from the history of Moses: v. 7. Wherefore, (as the Holy Ghost saith, Today if ye will hear His voice, v. 8. harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness, v. 9. when your fathers tempted Me, proved Me, and saw My works forty years. v. 10. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known My ways. v. 11. So I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter into My... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Hebrews 3:7-19

IIThe threatening of the Old Testament, that unbelievers shall not enter into the rest of God, is all the more to be taken to heart by the New Testament people of GodHebrews 3:7-197 Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit saith: To-day if ye will [om. will] hear his voice, 8harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness, 9 when [where οὗ] your fathers tempted me, proved me [by proving],6 and saw my works [during] forty years. 10Wherefore I was grieved [was... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Hebrews 3:12-19

“Harden Not Your Hearts” Hebrews 3:12-19 There is a peril lest familiarity with God’s words should beget indifference to them. The path may be trodden hard by the sower’s feet. That story of the Wilderness wanderings is for all time. Still men disbelieve and disobey; still they doubt that God is able; still they err in their hearts and therefore fail to understand with their heads; still they wander to and fro, with weary souls and restless feet. But if they who failed to believe in words... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 3:1-19

The argument now passed to the second claim of superiority, that over all human leaders. He is first seen as superior to Moses and Joshua. He is "the Apostle" completely fulfilling the function represented by the work of these two; He is also 'High Priest," thus realizing everything suggested in the position of Aaron. The position of Moses was that of a servant in the house of God. His faithfulness was shown in that he made all things according to the pattern. The spiritual house of God... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 3:14

‘For we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end.’ Following through the earlier quotation this would suggest that entering into rest (Hebrews 3:11) is to be seen as the equivalent of ‘being partakers of Christ’. In Hebrews 2:14 Jesus partook of ‘flesh and blood’. He was made one with it, and it became very much part of what He was. This is a reversal of that position. Those who are His have become partakers of the Christ (Messiah). They... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 3:1-19

Hebrews 3:1 to Hebrews 4:13 . As Christ is higher than the angels, so He is greater than Moses, through whom the first covenant was established. The comparison with Moses, however, occupies only a few verses, and merges in a warning to avoid the fate of those Israelites whom Moses led. read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 3:7-16

Hebrews 3:7 to Hebrews 4:13 . With this warning the comparison between Christ and Moses changes into an exhortation, based on Psalms 95:7-1 Kings :. This psalm is concerned with the “ house” or community of which Moses was the head, and its lessons are applied to the “ house” of the new covenant. The ancient people of God missed their destiny because of unbelief, and Christians must be on their guard against a like danger. After making his quotation the writer proceeds to explain it by his... read more
