LESSON 3 * PART 3 * BOOK 47
Hebrews 3:1-12
Hebrews chapter 3 verse 4. Hebrews 3:4
Remember, the God that we are speaking of here is the Man, Christ Jesus. Now verse 5.
Hebrews, 3:5
Verse 15.
Deuteronomy 18:15
"The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;" Moses is writing from his own position as the leader of Israel, but he is speaking of this future One.
Deuteronomy 18:16-18
17. And the LORD (Moses said) said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. Come back to Hebrews chapter 3. So, Moses was a faithful servant in everything that God had committed unto him.
Hebrews 3:6
Moses on the one hand and Christ on the other and how Moses just pales by comparison to the role of God the Son) as a son over his own house; (Moses was a servant of the Almighty Creator, so he couldn’t say that this is "my" house. What is the lesson? We are talking about something Spiritual. We are talking about a house being built in the heavens, for eternity! So as ason over his own house, whose house we are! I Corinthians 3:9
"For we are labourers together with God: (See that? We are a part and parcel of God’s building, the rest of the verse says it!) ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building."
We are a part of that which God is building for eternity! And, it is not wood, hay and stubble or gold, silver and precious stones, although those are used as examples of our building materials only to show that as we are laboring in this process of building the building that our labor is set up for rewards. So we are God’s husbandry, we are God’s building, but only in the effect that as a part of this building, we are now contributing to it with our works. I Corinthians 3:12
"Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;"
If anything fire would enhance it. You can do ever so much and if your motivation is wrong it counts but wood, hay and stubble.
Now, if she was going to bake these pies to bring glory to the Lord! If you give to whatever it is, your church or anything else, and you are doing it to bring God the glory, then yes, it will be gold, silver and precious stones! What’s your purpose? And, if your purpose is honorable in bringing glory to the Lord, it is gold, silver and precious stones. If the only reason you are doing it is to impress somebody else, it’s nothing but wood, hay and stubble! Hebrews 3:6
"But Christ as a son (or THE Son, the Preeminent One) over his own house; (that He’s building for eternity) whose house are we, (Now, I know that a lot of people like to take a verse like this and say IF we hang on. Well, I don’t think Paul ever uses that kind of language to impart that thinking, that IF we hang on and IF we have done enough. Unbelief! If you know that you are saying something that is absolute truth. When the God of Glory, the God of Creation, the God Who knows nothing BUT Truth has said something in His Word and puny men come along and say, "I don’t believe it." Do you think God’s going to take that lightly? Let’s go back and read Hebrews chapter 3, verse 7 on down.
Hebrews 3:7-10a
"Wherefore ( as the Holy Ghost (Spirit) saith, Today if ye will hear his voice, (If we are going to hear what God says, what is He going to expect? There at Mt. Sinai God gave Moses the Law. Unbelief! Well, here it goes, Exodus chapter 23 verse 20. The Lord is speaking to Moses. God is already telling them what is waiting for them!
Exodus 23:20a
It’s God the Son again! Who is speaking? God the Son! God the Son! You have to remember that all through Scripture, God the Son can speak to God the Father but what are they? Well, now he is speaking from His humanity and indeed He can address God the Father as His Father. To God!! So, don’t let that throw you - sometimes God the Son speaks concerning Himself.
Exodus 23:20b
The Promised Land! Then after that 400-year hiatus, the Canaanites had gotten so filthy, rotten, wicked that God could just push them out and let Israel enjoy the works of their 400 years of getting the land ready. Let’s read on in Exodus.
Exodus 23:21
Verse 22.
Exodus 23:22
"But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries."
Israel is God’s earthly people! Earthly! How’s God going to do it?
Exodus 23:23
God says, I will destroy them! Verse 24 is giving them warning. Exodus 23:24
Verse 25.
Exodus 23:25
"And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless they bread, and thy water; (What does that speak of? Material blessings! Exodus 23:26
