Read Hebrews 3:1–11
Today’s Scripture: Fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess. Hebrews 3:1

Jesus Christ is not only the Apostle; He is also the High Priest. In fact, Jesus Christ has the title “great high priest” (Heb. 4:14).

As the Apostle, Jesus Christ represented God to people, and as the High
Priest, He now represents people to God in heaven. Moses, of course,
fulfilled similar ministries; for he taught Israel God’s truth, and he prayed
for Israel when he met God on the mount (Ex. 32:30–32). Moses was
primarily the prophet of the law, while Jesus Christ is the messenger of
God’s grace (John 1:17). Moses helped prepare the way for the coming of the Savior to earth.

However, the writer of Hebrews notes that Moses and Jesus Christ were
both faithful in the work God gave them to do. Moses was not sinless, as
was Jesus Christ, but he was faithful and obeyed God’s will (Num. 12:7).
This would be an encouragement to those first-century Jewish believers to remain faithful to Christ, even in the midst of the tough trials they were
experiencing. Instead of going back to Moses, they should imitate Moses
and be faithful in their calling.

Something to Ponder
How might your spiritual life improve if you were to imitate the
faithfulness of Moses? What opportunity for faithfulness do you have?
