Therefore, brothers and sisters who are partners in the heavenly calling, think about Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession. Jesus was faithful to the one who appointed him just like Moses was faithful in God’s house. But he deserves greater glory than Moses in the same way that the builder of the house deserves more honor than the house itself. Every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. Moses was faithful in all God’s house as a servant in order to affirm the things that would be spoken later. But Jesus was faithful over God’s house as a Son. We are his house if we hold on to the confidence and the pride that our hope gives us. (Hebrews 3:1-6, CEB)
We are his house if we hold on to the confidence and the pride that our hope gives us.
We are Jesus’ house if. If sounds like something I have to do and as a Lutheran I have an issue with that. I am saved by grace through Christ’s faithfulness and it is not my doing.
But yet we need to finish that sentence. If we hold on to the confidence and the pride that our hope gives us.
Our hope gives us. It is not my doing, but my understanding and acceptance of the promise. The hope that Jesus will do what Jesus said he would do.
Hope.
Faith, Hope, and Love make the world go round…
Loving People. Loving God.
