Background
Jewish believers in Christ tempted to return to Judaism (Temple worship, sacrificial system, etc.)
Jesus is superior to prior messengers
Jesus is superior to the prophets
Jesus is superior to angels
Jesus is superior to Moses (v.1-6)
Both were faithful to what God called them to do
Both were “apostles” in the sense of being specifically called, commissioned, and sent to accomplish a task
Although Aaron was High Priest, Moses was regularly the one who interceded for Israel
Especially when Aaron couldn’t because he was involved in the people’s sin
Moses was faithful as a servant of the house, Jesus is faithful as the builder of the hoiuse
Moses was a faithful steward of the house, Jesus is the faithful son and heir of the house
A Warning From Israel’s History (v 7-15)
Paul affirms that the things the Holy Spirit recorded about Israel’s past are for our instruction
This is a quotation from the last part of Psalm 95
There were several instances of Israel grumbling, rebelling and provoking God after their deliverance from Egypt
At the Red Sea when they saw the armies of Pharaoh pursuing them.
(Exodus 14)
At Marah, where the waters were bitter and they couldn’t drink (Exodus 15)
In the Wilderness of Sin, just before God began to feed them with mana (Exodus 16)
At Massah and Meribah were God gave them water from the rock (Exodus 17)
At Mt. Sinai when they begged Aaron to make gods for them (Exodus 32)
After leaving Sinai, when the people complained they had no meat to eat (Numbers 11)
This Psalm refers to the people’s unbelief at Kadesh Barnea when they refused to enter the Promised Land (Numbers 14)
Numbers 14:26-39
The Consequences of Rebellion
Application
Remember the superiority of Jesus to everything else
Don’t be tempted to return to your former life
Remember the warnings for Israel’s history and don’t permit yourself to fall into unbelief and rebellion
