Kristus väčší ako Mojžiš

Preto, svätí bratia, ktorí máte účasť na nebeskom povolaní, hľaďte na Ježiša, apoštola a veľkňaza vášho vyznania.

Bol verný tomu, ktorý ho ustanovil, ako aj Mojžiš verne slúžil v Božom dome.

Ale Ježiš si zaslúži väčšiu slávu ako Mojžiš, tak ako si staviteľ domu zaslúži väčšie uznanie ako dom, ktorý postavil.

Lebo každý dom musí niekto postaviť, a ten, kto postavil všetko, je Boh.

Mojžiš bol iba verný služobník v národe izraelskom, v dome, ktorý mu Boh zveril, a len naznačuje udalosti, ktoré sa v budúcnosti majú stať.

Ale Kristus je verný Boží Syn v dome, ktorý mu patrí. Týmto domom sme my, jeho cirkev, ak si až do konca zachováme smelú istotu a radostnú nádej.

Božie zasľúbenie pre jeho ľud

Preto nás napomína Svätý Duch: Dnes, ak počujete môj hlas,

nezatvrdzujte svoje srdcia

ako vaši otcovia pri vzbure v deň, keď ma pokúšali na púšti.

10 Štyridsať rokov som ich viedol, a predsa žiadali stále nové dôkazy. Preto som sa rozhneval na tento ľud a povedal som: Ich srdce ustavične blúdi a cestám, ktorými som ich chcel viesť, nerozumejú.

11 Vo svojom hneve som prisahal: Nikdy sa nedostanú do zasľúbenej krajiny a nezískajú pokoj, ktorý som im pripravil."

12 Dávajte si pozor, bratia, aby nik z vás nemal zlé a neverné srdce a neodpadol od živého Boha.

13 Naopak, povzbudzujte sa navzájom deň čo deň, kým ešte trvá to dnes", aby sa nik z vás, oklamaný hriechom, nezatvrdil.

14 Lebo iba ak zostaneme verní až do smrti a zachováme si istotu, ktorú sme mali na počiatku, budeme mať účasť na všetkom, čo je Kristovo.

15 Preto platí: Ak dnes počujete jeho hlas, nezatvrdzujte svoje srdcia ako pri onej vzbure."

16 No kto boli tí, čo počuli a zatvrdili sa? Neboli to všetci, čo vyšli z Egypta pod Mojžišovým vedením?

17 A na koho sa Boh hneval štyridsať rokov? Nie na tých, čo zhrešili a ich telá pohynuli na púšti?

18 A komu prisahal, že nevojdú do krajiny, ktorú im zasľúbil a kde mali nájsť odpočinok? Boli to tí, ktorí ho neposlúchali, a preto do nej nemohli vojsť pre neveru.

Jesus Greater Than Moses

Therefore, holy brothers and sisters,(A) who share in the heavenly calling,(B) fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge(C) as our apostle and high priest.(D) He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.(E) Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses,(F) just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.(G) “Moses was faithful as a servant(H) in all God’s house,”[a](I) bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future. But Christ is faithful as the Son(J) over God’s house. And we are his house,(K) if indeed we hold firmly(L) to our confidence and the hope(M) in which we glory.

Warning Against Unbelief

So, as the Holy Spirit says:(N)

“Today, if you hear his voice,
    do not harden your hearts(O)
as you did in the rebellion,
    during the time of testing in the wilderness,
where your ancestors tested and tried me,
    though for forty years they saw what I did.(P)
10 That is why I was angry with that generation;
    I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray,
    and they have not known my ways.’
11 So I declared on oath in my anger,(Q)
    ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ (R)[b](S)

12 See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.(T) 13 But encourage one another daily,(U) as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.(V) 14 We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold(W) our original conviction firmly to the very end.(X) 15 As has just been said:

“Today, if you hear his voice,
    do not harden your hearts
    as you did in the rebellion.”[c](Y)

16 Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?(Z) 17 And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies perished in the wilderness?(AA) 18 And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest(AB) if not to those who disobeyed?(AC) 19 So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.(AD)

Footnotes

  1. Hebrews 3:5 Num. 12:7
  2. Hebrews 3:11 Psalm 95:7-11
  3. Hebrews 3:15 Psalm 95:7,8

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

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; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.

11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
