Sermon Bible Commentary - Hebrews 3:1-6

Hebrews 3:1-6 Christ the Lord, and Moses the Servant. I. To speak of Moses to the Jews was always a very difficult and delicate matter. It is hardly possible for Gentiles to realise or understand the veneration and affection with which the Jews regard Moses, the servant of God. All their religious life, all their thoughts about God, all their practices and observances, all their hopes of the future, everything connected with God, is to them also connected with Moses.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 3:1-19

Hebrews 3:1-6 . Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, who, as the sons of God, are called to eternal glory, consider the Apostle and Highpriest of our profession, that he unites in his glorious person all the honours of Moses as a prophet, and all the honours of Aaron as a priest, and so far eclipses their glory as the celestial house surpasses the earthly.

Hebrews 3:3-6He that hath built all things is GodDivine socialism1.“He that built all things is God.” He began in the undated past, and He keeps on in sundry ways and with diverse materials from generation to generation. To-day is built up out of yesterday and all its predecessors, and the vast and prolific morrow will be constructed out of the incomprehensible and mighty to-day. 2. “Know ye that the Lord, He is God.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 3:1-6

II. THE SON AS DIVINE APOSTLE FULLY CONTEMPLATED, Hebrews 3:1; Hebrews 3:1 to Hebrews 4:13. 1. Superior as Son to Moses, who was only servant, Hebrews 3:1-6. Having, in the first two chapters, summarily presented the Son as Apostle, beaming forth from the fountain of divinity and becoming incarnate High Priest, St. Paul now proceeds to a more full consideration of him first as Apostle. read more
