The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 3:1-6

The superiority of Christ to Moses the reason why they should cleave to Christ. The writer has met the objection to Christianity raised by the supposed want of dignity in its Founder, as opposed to the greatness of the angels through whom the old dispensation was said to be "ordained." He proceeds to deal with another objection. "The Law was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator;" but, he says, however great this mediator was, Christ is greater still. Subject—The superiority... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 3:1-6

The superiority of Christ. I. HERE WE HAVE THE PRE - EMINENCE OF CHRIST OVER THE JEWISH LAWGIVER ASSERTED . Having proved that our Lord was by nature and by his work infinitely above the angels, and that his assuming our flesh qualified him to be the great High Priest, it was desirable to show that he was immeasurably greater than Moses, who was the human mediator in establishment of the covenant and Law. The apostle knew the luster with which the name and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 3:2-6

Christ greater than Moses It was a delicate thing to utter such a thought even to many of the Jews who had embraced Christianity, for the whole Hebrew nation guarded with intense jealousy the name and fame of Moses. But the writer acknowledges to the full the lofty dignity and splendid services of the ancient lawgiver, and then proceeds to show that Jesus Christ has been counted worthy of still greater honor. I. CHRIST 'S SIMILARITY TO MOSES . ( Hebrews 3:2 ) The very fact... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 3:5-6

And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterwards to be spoken; but Christ, as Son over his house. We have already anticipated the explanation of this passage, which, according to the view taken above, is a setting forth of the distinction between Christ and Moses intended from the first; that of one being "Son over," the other but "servant in, " the house of God. The rendering of the A.V., "his own house," in Hebrews 3:6... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 3:6

The Church, God's temple. "But Christ as a Son over his house; whose house are we," etc. Observe— I. THE CHURCH IS THE TEMPLE OF GOD . It is here designated "his house." And St. Paul speaks of "the house of God, which is the Church of the living God." Individual Christians are spoken of as temples of God ( 1 Corinthians 3:16 ). And the whole company of Christians are spoken of as "a holy temple" ( Ephesians 2:20-22 ), and "a spiritual house" ( 1 Peter 2:5 ). The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 3:6

What we are to Christ. To us Christ is related as Apostle and High Priest ( Hebrews 3:1 ). To Christ we are related as the house where he holds the unique position of Son, Heir, Director. I. WE ARE MORE TO CHRIST THAN EVER HIS BRETHREN COULD BE TO MOSES . Moses had great authority, honorable position, but he was never as a son over his own house. Moses at best was the steward, and even he bad checks which reminded him that he was but the first among... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 3:7-8

On hearing God's voice. "The Holy Ghost saith, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts." Introduction. The witness of the New Testament to the Divine inspiration of the Old. "The Holy Ghost saith" ( Psalms 95:7-11 ). We have in the text— I. A GREAT FACT IMPLIED . That God speaks to man. The "if" does not indicate uncertainty as to the Divine voice, but as to man's attention to this voice. There is no question as to whether God will speak to man or not, but... read more

Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts . The warning, thus led up to, is now introduced by a long quotation from Psalms 95:1-11 ., which is cited at length, because the writer is about to dwell on its whole significance in the remainder of this and also in the succeeding chapter. The warning is connected by διὸ with the conclusion of Psalms 95:6 . Since our continuing to be God's house is on the condition of our steadfastness, ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 3:7-11

There is an example here of the resources and adaptation of Old Testament Scripture to New Testament conditions. The sacred writer turns to the ninety-fifth psalm to give force to his remonstrances, and cautions against unbelief and disobedience. This part of the Psalter contains an impressive description of the conduct of the ancient tribes of Israel in their passage from Egypt to Canaan. There were two occasions on which the hardness of their hearts was specially and painfully manifest.... read more
