February 24       Tuesday                 Hebrews 3.1-11

3 So all of you who are holy partners in a heavenly calling, let’s turn our attention to Jesus, the Emissary of God and High Priest, who brought us the faith we profess; ² and compare Him to Moses, who also brought words from God. Both of them were faithful to their missions, to the One who called them. ³ But we value Jesus more than Moses, in the same way that we value a builder more than the house he builds. ⁴ Every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. ⁵ Moses brought healing and redemption to his people as a faithful servant in God’s house, and he was a witness to the things that would be spoken later. ⁶ But Jesus the Anointed was faithful as a Son of that house. (We become that house, if we’re able to hold on to the confident hope we have in God until the end.)

⁷ Listen now, to the voice of the Holy Spirit through what the psalmist wrote:

Today, if you listen to His voice, ⁸ Don’t harden your hearts the way they did

    in the bitter uprising at Meribah
⁹ Where your ancestors tested Me
    though they had seen My marvelous power.
¹⁰ For the 40 years they traveled on
    to the land that I had promised them,
That generation broke My heart.
Grieving and angry, I said, “Their hearts are unfaithful;
    they don’t know what I want from them.”
¹¹ That is why I swore in anger
    they would never enter salvation’s rest.
