Hebrews 3:8 NKJV

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Hebrews 3:7-19

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESHebrews 3:7-19 form part of an exhortation, based on the superiority of Christ over Moses, and the conduct of the Jewish people in their relation to Moses. They were the chosen people of God, and yet they provoked Him by their unbelief, and were consequently precluded from entering the rest of Canaan. A promise of rest is also given to us. What is it? It cannot be the Sabbatic rest of God from the work of creation: it cannot be the rest of settling in Canaan. It is... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Hebrews 3:7-19

Hebrews 3:7-19 Unbelief in the Wilderness. I. The history of the wanderings of the Israelites in the wilderness is most instructive. No Scripture is of private interpretation, but is Catholic and eternal. Israel's history in the wilderness is typical throughout. (1) It is a marvellous history from beginning to end. (2) It was a history of solemn and glorious privileges. Is not this a picture of the Christian's life? (3) It is a sad history, full of fearful judgments. Do you understand the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Hebrews 3:1-19

Shall we turn in our Bibles now to Hebrews the third chapter.Wherefore, holy brethren ( Hebrews 3:1 ),The word wherefore immediately leads us back to that which is immediately preceding, and that is the declaration of the superiority of Jesus over the angels. Because He is superior over the angelic beings being the Son of God.Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus ( Hebrews 3:1 );Here we are called upon... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 3:1-19

Hebrews 3:1-6 . Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, who, as the sons of God, are called to eternal glory, consider the Apostle and Highpriest of our profession, that he unites in his glorious person all the honours of Moses as a prophet, and all the honours of Aaron as a priest, and so far eclipses their glory as the celestial house surpasses the earthly. They were only shadows, he is the substance; they were but servants, he is the Lord, the Son and heir of all.... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Hebrews 3:7-8

Hebrews 3:7-8As the Holy Ghost saithScripture1.The authority of the Scripture is not of man, but of the Holy Ghost. 2. The Scriptures are no dumb letter, but the voice of the Holy Ghost, who by them speaketh. 3. The Holy Ghost is God, the Inspirer of the prophets that wrote the Scripture. 4. The Holy Ghost is a distinct person of the Godhead from the Father and the Son, exercising the proper actions of a person inspiring the prophets, inditing the Scriptures, and speaking to the Church. (D.... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Hebrews 3:8

8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: Ver. 8. Harden not your hearts ] Some hearts are so hard that neither ministry, nor misery, nor miracle, nor mercy can possibly mollify them. Such a heart is in some respects worse than hell. And if God broke David’s bones for his adultery, and the angels’ backs for their pride, the Lord, if ever he save any, will break his heart too. As when he marks out a man for eternal misery, he denies him his... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 3:7-19

2. Dread warnings against disobedience to the Son, like the Jews’ disobedience to Moses, Hebrews 3:7 to Hebrews 4:13. As Christ stands parallel to Moses, so our Christian Hebrews stand parallel to ancient Israel, and so must take warning by Israel’s fatal example. read more
