Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus, who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house \u2026 as a servant \u2026 but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end. Hebrews 3:1\u20132, 5\u20136<\/em><\/p><\/div>

By addressing his readers as \u201choly brethren,\u201d the writer is seeking to remind them that they have been set apart for the purposes of heaven. They are no longer an earthly people but are those who have been called into a heavenly calling. This is true of every born-again believer today. We are connected to heaven through the very One who has returned to the Father; and His presence there has prepared that place for us, while His work on the cross has prepared us for that place.<\/span><\/div>

The writer then goes on encouraging us to consider this blessed Person who is both the Apostle and High priest of our confession. Apostle means \u201csent one\u201d; the Lord Jesus Christ, God\u2019s beloved Son, was sent from the Father. He has both revealed and declared the Father to us (Mt. 11:27; Jn. 1:18). In becoming a man, the Lord Jesus is able to sympathize with us in every area of our lives (Heb. 4:14\u201316).<\/p>

But not only is this blessed Person our Apostle and High Priest of our confession, He is also the Son over His house.<\/p>

When it comes to approaching God, we come through the Lord Jesus Christ (Jn. 14:6), and when it comes to our worship, we also worship the Father through the Son. He is also the \u201cHigh Priest over the house of God\u201d (Heb. 10:21). As Son over the House, we must consider His authority and rights. As the High Priest over the House, He is to lead us in our worship! How beautiful then that the writer would have us to consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus!<\/p>

Anchor For Today:<\/strong>
The Lord Jesus has revealed and declared the Father when He was here as a man, and now He appears in Heaven on our behalf as our Great High Priest. Consider Him!<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
