[1] So all of you, holy brothers, should think about Jesus. You were all called by God. God sent Jesus to us, and he is the high priest of our faith. [2] And Jesus was faithful to God as Moses was. Moses did everything God wanted him to do in God's family. [3] A man who is the head of a family receives more honor than others in the family. It is the same with Jesus. Jesus should have more honor than Moses. [4] Every family has its head, but God is the head of everything. [5] Moses was faithful in God's family as a servant. He told what God would say in the future. [6] But Christ is faithful as a Son who is the head of God's family. And we are God's family if we hold on to our faith and are proud of the great hope we have. [7] So it is as the Holy Spirit says: "Today listen to what he says. [8] Do not be stubborn as in the past when you turned against God. There you tested God in the desert. [9] For 40 years in the desert your ancestors saw the things I did. But they tested me and my patience. [10] I was angry with them. I said, 'They are not loyal to me. They have not understood my ways.' [11] So I was angry and made a promise. 'They will never enter my land of rest.'" Psalm 95:7-11 [12] So brothers, be careful that none of you has an evil, unbelieving heart. This will stop you from following the living God. [13] But encourage each other every day. Do this while it is "today." Help each other so that none of you will become hardened because of sin and its tricks. [14] We all share in Christ. This is true if we keep till the end the sure faith we had in the beginning. [15] This is what the Scripture says: "Today listen to what he says. Do not be stubborn as in the past when you turned against God." Psalm 95:7-8 [16] Who heard God's voice and was against him? It was all those people Moses led out of Egypt. [17] And whom was God angry with for 40 years? He was angry with those who sinned, who died in the desert. [18] And whom was God talking to when he promised that they would never enter and have his rest? He was talking to those who did not obey him. [19] So we see that they were not allowed to enter and have God's rest because they did not believe.
