Consider Jesus (Hebrews 3:1-6)
To hold fast your confession, fix your thoughts on Jesus.
• Katanoeo (κατανοέω) – Consider
Think of Jesus as the apostle and high priest of our confession. (v. 1b-2a)
Think of Jesus as worthy of greater glory than Moses. (vv. 2b-6a)
Think of Jesus as the Son who makes us holy brothers by faith, sharers of a heavenly calling, and his household of confidence and hope. (vv. 1a & 6b)
Take It Home: (Discussion questions for Discipleship Groups, families, and personal reflection)
• Think about the text. Does anything in the text surprise you? Raise new questions? Really grip you or challenge you?
• Apply the text.
◦ When you desire to understand something thoroughly and become skilled in using that knowledge, what measures do you normally take to accomplish that goal?
◦ Apply that process to “considering Christ” and allowing the fruit of the Spirit to pour out in practice. Talk about which parts of pursuing God you are consistent in and which things you are more admittedly weak in, needing growth and perhaps accountability.
