Biblical Studies Press, 2005) ### Jesus and Moses **Principle**: Moses was a faithful servant. Jesus is God. [[#Verse 01.]] Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partners in a heavenly calling, take note of Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess, [[#Verse 02.]] who is faithful to the one who appointed him, as Moses was also in God’s house. [[#Verse 03.]] For he has come to deserve greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house deserves greater honor than the house itself! [[#Verse 04.]] For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. [[#Verse 05.]] Now Moses was as a servant, to testify to the things that would be spoken. [[#Verse 06.]] But Christ is faithful as a son over God’s house. We are of his house, if in fact we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope we take pride in. ### Exposition of Psalm 95: Hearing God’s Word in Faith **Principle**: Exposition of Psalm 95. [[#Verse 07.]] Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, “ [[#Verse 08.]] . [[#Verse 09.]] , . [[#Verse 10.]] , ‘.’ [[#Verse 11.]] , ‘’” [[#Verse 12.]] See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has an evil, unbelieving heart that forsakes the living God. [[#Verse 13.]] But exhort one another each day, as long as it is called “Today,” that none of you may become hardened by sin’s deception. [[#Verse 14.]] For we have become partners with Christ, if in fact we hold our initial confidence firm until the end. [[#Verse 15.]] As it says, “.” [[#Verse 16.]] For which ones heard and rebelled? Was it not all who came out of Egypt under Moses’ leadership? [[#Verse 17.]] And against whom was God provoked for forty years? Was it not those who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the wilderness? [[#Verse 18.]] And to whom did he swear they would never enter into his rest, except those who were disobedient? [[#Verse 19.]] So we see that they could not enter because of unbelief. ## 📖 Verse-by-Verse Commentary ###### Overall. ###### Verse 01. ###### Verse 02. ###### Verse 03. ###### Verse 04. ###### Verse 05. ###### Verse 06. ###### Verse 07. ###### Verse 08. ###### Verse 09. ###### Verse 10. ###### Verse 11. ###### Verse 12. ###### Verse 13. ###### Verse 14. ###### Verse 15. ###### Verse 16. ###### Verse 17. ###### Verse 18. ###### Verse 19. ## 🤔 Interesting Facts / Historical and Cultural Insights 1.
