As we meditate His Words today in Hebrews 3 —
It is very clear that the book of Hebrews is written for us - believers. So let' us take heed.
On the first part v1-6 shows the supremacy of Jesus over Moses - it made it clear that we only have one Jesus who dwells in Us and that there is no reason for unbelief.
On the Last verses we were warned of the danger of unbelief — because it:
1. HARDENS our hearts (v12) — we tend not to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirt — God's commands and His instructions.
2. HINDERS God's blessings (10-19) - we have no peace and we can never enter God's rest just like the Israelites who stayed in the wilderness for 40 years.
3. HALTS God's power (Mat 13:57-58) - unbelief stops us in doing God's works, therefore it stops us from witnessing miracles and wonders of the Lord.
BUT we can always ask Jesus to HELP US WITH OUR UNBELIEF just like what the Father of the sick child did in Mark 9:24.
Also in this chapter we were given HELP TO OVERCOME UNBELIEF:
1. Do not harden your heart (v8) LISTEN to the voice of the Holy SPirit and obey.
2. Know His ways (v10) MEDITATE HIS WORDS DAY AND NIGHT. Only in His words that we get to know Him well.
3. Be partakers of Christ (V13-14) KEEP HIS WORKS - we must exhort each other daily and find the lost.
LET US REFLECT:
- Do you experience the signs of unbelief? ( missed church activity, missed reading the words and missed fellowship)
- Is your heart not in the right place? is it in the world (flesh-family and work) or with Jesus?
*** It's not about how we start our faith it's about enduring the battle.. finishing the task ... we will be judged according to HOW WE FINISH NOT HOW WE START.
So kneel down and ask Jesus to help us with our unbelief just like the father of the sick child.
Amen.
Amen🙏
