‏ Hebrews 3:3-6

Summary for Heb 3:3-6: 3:3-6 ^a Jesus deserves far more glory for two reasons. First, a person who builds a house deserves more praise than the house itself. The Messiah is the one who builds God’s house (see 2 Sam 7:13 ^b). The implication is that Moses is part of the house (i.e., God’s people) that God has built. Second, whereas Moses was a servant in God’s house, Christ, as the Son, is the heir in charge of God’s entire house. Sons have greater status than household servants.
3:6 ^c We are part of Christ’s house if we keep our courage. The author could not give unqualified assurance to those who were drifting away from Christ and the church. Those who persevere in the faith have assurance that they are part of God’s house (see 3:14 ^d; Rom 8:9 ^e, 17 ^f; 11:22 ^g; 2 Cor 13:5 ^h; Col 1:22-23 ⁱ).
