If so, then relax! Hebrews 3 calls us to one simple, life-altering focus: Consider Jesus. In a world full of religious noise, tradition, and performance, it\u2019s easy to get distracted and miss the gospel entirely. This message cuts through the confusion, showing the clear contrast between law and grace, servant and Son, striving and rest. It reveals that the real issue is not behavior but belief. For the believer, this is not a warning to fear, but an invitation to rest confidently in Christ. You are not in the wilderness. You\u2019re in the promised land. Now live like it. Discussion Questions for Hebrews 3: Why is Jesus compared to Moses in this chapter? To make what point? How does Moses as a \u201cservant\u201d (v.5) and Jesus as a \u201cSon\u201d (v.6) bring even further clarity to the contrast? How might this get you thinking about your own role with God? What does the example of their forefathers in the wilderness for forty years illustrate for the original readers of this epistle? How does the picture of leaving Egypt, being in the desert, and entering the Promised Land clarify the real meaning of \u201chold fast\u201d and \u201cuntil the end\u201d? The synonyms \u201csinned\u201d (v.17) and \u201cdisobedient\u201d (v.18) and \u201cunbelief\u201d (v.19) help answer the following question: Is Hebrews warning Christians they will lose their salvation if they commit too many sins? Explain. In light of the truths in these first three chapters, what does it mean to \u201cconsider Jesus\u201d (v.1)? What is the biggest thing you have gleaned from this chapter? How might it impact the way you relate to God? ","author_name":"The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley","author_url":"https:\/\/andrewfarley.org","html":"
