SUMMARY OF CHAPTER THREE
Chapter three begins the development of the principal theme of Hebrews by calling attention to the faithfulness of Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, In the first two Chapter s, He is contrasted with angels, for it is His message that is superior to that spoken through angels. In this chapter, He is contrasted with Moses for, although Moses was faithful, the quality of Jesus-' faithfulness is superior.
This superior faithfulness is the basis of the appeal for Christians to be true to Christ instead of failing as the Israelites did in the wilderness journey because of their unbelief, Those who accept Christ as Leader are urged to hold steadfastly to their convictions to the end of the journey of life, remembering the fate of those who came out of Egypt under the leadership of Moses, They were refused entrance into the promised rest because of disobedience and unbelief.
