Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus.
If only we considered him more! He is supremely worthy of our perpetual consideration from all points of view. And the more you consider him, the more you can, for there is a depth and breadth about his wondrous personality, his work, and his offices well worthy of our deepest thought and admiring worship. Holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, we do well to consider him.
"Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, [even] Jesus;" — Hebrews 3:1 (ASV)
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; (Hebrews 3:1)
Think of Him, think how great He is, think what attention He deserves from all who believe in Him.
"who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house. For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he that built the house hath more honor than the house. For every house is builded by some one; but he that built all things is God. And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken; but Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm unto the end." — Hebrews 3:2-6 (ASV)
Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house. For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God. And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; but Christ as a son over his own house;
See the superiority of Christ to Moses; Moses is honored by being called the servant of God, but Jesus is the Son of God, and as Son, Master over his own house.
"Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, [even] Jesus;" — Hebrews 3:1 (ASV)
Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus:
Oh, that He received more consideration from us! Consider Him; you cannot know all His excellence, all His value to you, unless He is the subject of your constant meditation. Consider Him; think of His nature, His offices, His work, His promises, His relation to you: Consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus.
"who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house." — Hebrews 3:2 (ASV)
Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house (Hebrews 3:2).
See how our Lord Jesus Christ condescended to be appointed by the Father. In coming as a Mediator, taking upon himself our humanity, he made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant (Philippians 2:7), and being found in fashion as a servant, we find that he was faithful; to every jot and tittle, he carried out his charge.
