00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.580
 Morning, church. Open up your Bibles to Hebrews chapter 3.

00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:13.439
 So I've had a lot of joy studying and preparing and getting ready for this morning

00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:18.660
! Because we're going to talk about one of my favorite Bible characters, Moses.

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:25.339
 And Scripture has a lot to say about Moses, both in the New Testament,

00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:28.580
 and this is just a tiny little piece of that.

00:00:28.579 --> 00:00:32.519
 But before we dive in, let's go to the Lord in prayer again.

00:00:32.619 --> 00:00:36.739
 I just want to ask Him to help us.

00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:46.659
 Father, we come before You this morning just very thankful for Your presence with us.

00:00:49.299 --> 00:00:53.579
 Knowing that if it were not for Jesus, we would still be outcasts.

00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:57.099
 We still would be far away.

00:00:57.100 --> 00:01:04.260
 But You have drawn us near and made us Your people through the blood of Jesus.

00:01:04.260 --> 00:01:11.760
 And thank You that He is, even now, standing on our behalf as our advocate.

00:01:13.180 --> 00:01:18.080
 He's our great, eternal, sympathetic High Priest.

00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.319
 And we can just give You thanks for that, Father.

00:01:23.459 --> 00:01:25.799
 So Lord, I pray You would just be our teacher this morning.

00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:29.780
 Help us to focus, to hear Your Word,

00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:36.340
 and to honor it by taking it from this place and by Your Spirit being obedient.

00:01:36.340 --> 00:01:40.159
 So we just give this time to You, Father.

00:01:40.380 --> 00:01:41.439
 In Jesus' name, Amen.

00:01:44.500 --> 00:01:46.400
 Alright, Hebrews chapter 3.

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:51.560
 And so you know, I'm sure most of you have been around long enough.

00:01:53.180 --> 00:01:58.420
 Without giving you a long spiel, the book of Hebrews is written to a Jewish audience.

00:01:58.420 --> 00:02:13.659
 And it's written to Jews who have left behind Judaism and are kind of being tempted and even persecuted to kind of come back to the old faith,

00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:17.719
 kind of return because Jesus is a hoax, like what you're believing.

00:02:18.580 --> 00:02:20.219
 All you have is a dead Messiah.

00:02:20.740 --> 00:02:21.920
 We have a temple.

00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:23.420
 We have a sacrificial system.

00:02:23.419 --> 00:02:26.139
 We have all these traditions.

00:02:26.339 --> 00:02:30.500
 What do you have other than a dead carpenter from Galilee?

00:02:31.519 --> 00:02:37.639
 And the writer of Hebrews is refuting that by saying, by honoring the old covenant,

00:02:37.779 --> 00:02:44.679
 but also saying Jesus is much better, far greater, far superior than anything in the old covenant.

00:02:44.839 --> 00:02:48.759
 So you have some people who have crossed over into following Christ,

00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:52.899
 some who are on the other side trying to get the Jews to come back.

00:02:53.419 --> 00:02:56.179
 And some that are on the fence not knowing which way to jump.

00:02:56.399 --> 00:03:03.500
 And so it's a helpful study tool when you're reading Hebrews to kind of figure out which group is he talking to,

00:03:03.579 --> 00:03:10.159
 those who are kind of threatening to, you know, return, the ones who are standing firm in the faith.

00:03:10.259 --> 00:03:12.459
 So just a little study tip there.

00:03:12.459 --> 00:03:20.199
 But to reconnect, just rewind just a couple verses to chapter 2, verse 17, where Nathan preached last week.

00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:50.179
 He says,

00:03:50.180 --> 00:04:20.160
 He says,

00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:29.020
 So Christ was obedient to the point of death and the death on the cross.

00:04:29.019 --> 00:04:37.519
 And so we'll pick up in chapter 3 from there, because the therefore is connecting to what he just said.

00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:40.839
 Chapter 3, verse 1.

00:04:40.839 --> 00:05:10.819
 Therefore,

00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:25.060
 Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant to testify to the things that were to be spoken later.

00:05:25.060 --> 00:05:44.060
 So, therefore, in light of Jesus being this great high priest, he says,

00:05:44.060 --> 00:06:14.040
 Holy brothers,

00:06:14.060 --> 00:06:44.040
 He said,

00:06:44.040 --> 00:07:14.020
 So,

00:07:14.019 --> 00:07:44.019


00:07:44.019 --> 00:07:50.099
 That's when he's standing on the Red Sea and everybody's panicking and the chariots are closing in.

00:07:50.159 --> 00:07:50.599
 He says,

00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:57.600
 Such a great image.

00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:01.680
 Such a great image in my head.

00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:09.259
 So, he was definitely a true Bible.

00:08:09.259 --> 00:08:19.379
 I found that I think I think I think I was a reluctant, he was a reluctant, hesitant leader.

00:08:19.379 --> 00:08:20.379
 And I feel like I'm a Christian.

00:08:20.379 --> 00:08:20.379


00:08:49.379 --> 00:09:19.360
 He said,

00:09:19.379 --> 00:09:20.379
 And later on, he's a Christian.

00:09:20.379 --> 00:09:20.379


00:09:20.379 --> 00:09:25.320
 And later on, he appointed elders to help rule over the nation of Israel.

00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:33.600
 But I do wish at times, and I'm kind of content, and I'm kind of content, and I'm kind of content of myself with that.

00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:34.600
 That's how God made us.

00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:35.600
 That's how God made us.

00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:43.180
 And I want to give you just a few bullet points here of why Moses is so important.

00:09:43.179 --> 00:09:44.179
 Incredibly important.

00:09:44.179 --> 00:09:44.179


00:09:44.179 --> 00:09:46.179
 Incredibly important.

00:09:46.179 --> 00:09:47.179
 Incredibly important.

00:09:47.179 --> 00:09:48.319
 So why Moses?

00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:50.540
 It's like, why is the writer kind of pointing this out?

00:09:52.040 --> 00:10:02.020
 But, number one, Moses was graciously chosen by God to be his instrument for an epic task.

00:10:03.140 --> 00:10:04.320
 We know that.

00:10:05.020 --> 00:10:13.180
 Exodus chapter 2 talks about how he was divinely preserved from Pharaoh's edict

00:10:13.180 --> 00:10:15.640
 and the slaughter of the male children,

00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:22.000
 and how his mother and his sister placed him in a basket to float him down the Nile.

00:10:23.379 --> 00:10:26.039
 And he was providentially led.

00:10:26.740 --> 00:10:28.600
 Have you ever, like, watched videos about the Nile?

00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:30.279
 Some of you may actually have even seen the Nile.

00:10:31.379 --> 00:10:32.559
 It's a pretty crazy river.

00:10:33.779 --> 00:10:41.259
 And the fact that it was led right to Pharaoh's daughter was completely by the hand of God.

00:10:41.259 --> 00:10:46.500
 He was plucked right from the bulrushes, and he was given a noble upbringing.

00:10:48.659 --> 00:10:53.360
 The name Moses is actually an Egyptian name, not a Hebrew name.

00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:58.580
 And it means drawn out, rescued from the water, which is what happened to him.

00:10:58.580 --> 00:11:02.440
 If I may, I'll nerd out just for a second.

00:11:02.660 --> 00:11:03.160
 Can't help it.

00:11:04.520 --> 00:11:11.680
 We know that in 1 Kings chapter 6, where Solomon built his temple.

00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:16.840
 We know that Solomon built the temple in 967 B.C., a long time ago.

00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:19.639
 But it says in 1 Kings 6,

00:11:20.560 --> 00:11:32.980
 And if you pick up on that, what it's saying is,

00:11:34.060 --> 00:11:39.460
 this many years ago from the building of Solomon's temple is when the nation came out of Egypt.

00:11:39.460 --> 00:11:47.320
 And if you rewind, you land on the 18th dynasty of Egypt.

00:11:47.940 --> 00:11:48.600
 Pretty cool.

00:11:48.700 --> 00:11:49.879
 Most of the movies have it wrong.

00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:50.980
 I don't think it was Ramesses.

00:11:52.100 --> 00:11:55.000
 But here's what's cool about it.

00:11:55.960 --> 00:12:07.980
 It's for, when you add that to 967 B.C., plus 480, you get 1446 B.C., a long time ago.

00:12:07.980 --> 00:12:09.899
 Egypt's 18th dynasty.

00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:15.860
 The ruler was Tutmosis III, a ruthless conqueror.

00:12:16.539 --> 00:12:20.920
 And he had a stepmother named Hapshepsut, which was the daughter of Pharaoh.

00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:25.440
 And more than likely, like she's written a lot about,

00:12:25.539 --> 00:12:29.740
 she ruled for about 20 years until Tutmosis III became of age.

00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:32.180
 And he was furious with her.

00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:35.940
 He erased a lot of her images and did a lot of other things.

00:12:35.940 --> 00:12:43.060
 But the fact that Egyptian history makes much out of this one queen, this one daughter of Pharaoh,

00:12:43.940 --> 00:12:45.800
 I like to think it might have been her.

00:12:46.300 --> 00:12:46.940
 That's my theory.

00:12:47.580 --> 00:12:49.540
 Come talk to me later if you want to nerd out on that.

00:12:49.539 --> 00:12:55.879
 But Moses was chosen for that task by God.

00:12:56.959 --> 00:13:05.719
 Number two, Moses was used of God to be an incomparable deliverer of his people

00:13:05.719 --> 00:13:10.019
 through an unparalleled display of power.

00:13:11.299 --> 00:13:16.819
 He was a deliverer through using incredible power given to him or worked through him by God.

00:13:16.820 --> 00:13:22.180
 Exodus 7 and 12 talks about how he delivered the Hebrews from bondage in Egypt,

00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:24.840
 turned the Nile to blood,

00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:27.460
 plagues,

00:13:28.280 --> 00:13:29.540
 parting of the Red Sea,

00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:31.660
 splitting of the rock and the wilderness,

00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:34.420
 and making water gush out of it.

00:13:35.460 --> 00:13:37.260
 Like, you don't see many more,

00:13:38.060 --> 00:13:38.620
 I guess,

00:13:38.760 --> 00:13:41.340
 powerful images of God's power than you do,

00:13:41.420 --> 00:13:43.320
 sort of, in the life of Moses a lot of the time.

00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:46.140
 Like, what imagery all that is.

00:13:47.740 --> 00:13:51.600
 So, then he brought his people to the foot of Mount Sinai,

00:13:52.540 --> 00:13:55.460
 which is in modern-day Saudi Arabia, again, in my opinion.

00:13:57.020 --> 00:13:58.740
 And thirdly,

00:13:59.640 --> 00:14:02.600
 Moses served as the greatest prophet of Israel.

00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:05.920
 He spoke boldly to the people of God,

00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:06.660
 through God.

00:14:06.760 --> 00:14:07.100
 God said,

00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:07.820
 Tell them this,

00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:08.400
 and he did.

00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:11.139
 And he gave the Ten Commandments,

00:14:11.259 --> 00:14:12.720
 God's holy law,

00:14:12.860 --> 00:14:14.959
 brought that down for the people.

00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:16.019
 And even today,

00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:19.600
 it serves as like a measuring rod of all other laws out there.

00:14:21.439 --> 00:14:22.279
 Number four,

00:14:24.019 --> 00:14:26.699
 Moses was the first writer of the Bible,

00:14:27.779 --> 00:14:32.139
 known as the first historian of the Hebrews,

00:14:32.939 --> 00:14:34.179
 and under divine inspiration,

00:14:34.299 --> 00:14:36.179
 recorded the first five books of the Bible.

00:14:36.179 --> 00:14:37.959
 That was Moses.

00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:39.699
 Pretty cool.

00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:41.219
 Then lastly,

00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:42.839
 number five,

00:14:42.979 --> 00:14:43.939
 Moses was marked.

00:14:44.539 --> 00:14:46.659
 This is what I would want so bad,

00:14:46.839 --> 00:14:47.519
 out of my life.

00:14:48.339 --> 00:14:49.419
 Moses was marked

00:14:49.419 --> 00:14:53.939
 as the humblest of all God's servants ever to walk the earth.

00:14:55.319 --> 00:14:57.919
 And he was greatly privileged to speak with God,

00:14:58.699 --> 00:15:00.059
 plainly and simply,

00:15:00.199 --> 00:15:01.099
 as a friend does,

00:15:01.179 --> 00:15:01.859
 face to face.

00:15:02.919 --> 00:15:03.159
 Man,

00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:05.819
 what a privilege.

00:15:06.179 --> 00:15:06.620
 Now,

00:15:07.939 --> 00:15:08.679
 keep your hand,

00:15:08.719 --> 00:15:09.799
 or keep a mark in Hebrews,

00:15:09.959 --> 00:15:12.439
 but just flip to Exodus 33 really quick.

00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:16.000
 Exodus 33.

00:15:18.539 --> 00:15:20.559
 And some of the points I just read to you,

00:15:20.579 --> 00:15:23.899
 you'll see in some of these texts I'm about to read,

00:15:24.019 --> 00:15:26.059
 but I just want you to flip to one of them,

00:15:26.099 --> 00:15:27.179
 and I'll read you a couple of others.

00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:29.799
 But Exodus chapter 33,

00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:33.199
 where the nation is gathered at Mount Sinai,

00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:36.700
 and Exodus 33 verse 8.

00:15:36.700 --> 00:15:38.580
 It says,

00:15:38.580 --> 00:15:41.520
 whenever Moses went out to the tent,

00:15:41.700 --> 00:15:42.360
 the tabernacle,

00:15:42.800 --> 00:15:45.180
 all the people would rise up,

00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:48.000
 and each would stand at his tent door

00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:52.300
 and watch Moses until he had gone into the tent.

00:15:53.560 --> 00:15:54.960
 And when Moses entered the tent,

00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:57.080
 the pillar of cloud would descend

00:15:57.080 --> 00:15:59.800
 and stand at the entrance of the tent.

00:16:00.460 --> 00:16:02.980
 And the Lord would speak with Moses.

00:16:02.980 --> 00:16:06.379
 And when all the people saw the pillar of clouds

00:16:06.379 --> 00:16:08.440
 standing at the entrance of the tent,

00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:11.800
 all the people would rise up and worship,

00:16:12.300 --> 00:16:13.560
 each at his tent door.

00:16:14.500 --> 00:16:14.879
 Thus,

00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:18.639
 the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face

00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:20.800
 as a man speaks to his friend.

00:16:22.259 --> 00:16:22.820
 Man,

00:16:23.820 --> 00:16:25.700
 how can you not want that?

00:16:25.700 --> 00:16:28.820
 And what a privilege that was.

00:16:28.900 --> 00:16:31.120
 The whole nation stood away in fear

00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:34.120
 that Moses was allowed to go in.

00:16:36.140 --> 00:16:37.220
 And in Numbers 12,

00:16:37.280 --> 00:16:39.200
 I'll read you some stuff from Numbers 12.

00:16:40.540 --> 00:16:42.980
 When I was saying he was the most humblest of God's servants.

00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:44.379
 It says,

00:16:44.460 --> 00:16:46.900
 Now the man Moses was very meek,

00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:50.480
 more than all the people who were on the face of the earth.

00:16:51.280 --> 00:16:52.340
 And he said,

00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:53.800
 the Lord said,

00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:55.259
 Hear my words.

00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:57.539
 If there is a prophet among you,

00:16:58.120 --> 00:16:58.899
 I, the Lord,

00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:01.219
 make myself known to him in a vision.

00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:03.519
 I speak with him in a dream.

00:17:04.659 --> 00:17:06.740
 But not so with my servant Moses.

00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:09.919
 He is faithful in all my house.

00:17:10.399 --> 00:17:11.079
 And with him,

00:17:11.159 --> 00:17:12.720
 I speak mouth to mouth,

00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:14.700
 clearly and not in riddles.

00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:17.779
 And he beholds the form of the Lord.

00:17:18.919 --> 00:17:19.899
 So in other words,

00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:22.440
 God does speak through the other prophets,

00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:24.400
 but he does so in a mysterious way,

00:17:25.180 --> 00:17:25.860
 through dreams,

00:17:26.059 --> 00:17:26.460
 visions.

00:17:27.259 --> 00:17:27.620
 But he's like,

00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:28.220
 not Moses.

00:17:28.340 --> 00:17:31.100
 I speak plainly and clearly to him

00:17:31.100 --> 00:17:34.900
 in a very intimate context.

00:17:36.259 --> 00:17:37.799
 And then Deuteronomy 34,

00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:39.160
 a couple of verses.

00:17:40.019 --> 00:17:41.980
 But this was the last thing written of Moses.

00:17:42.700 --> 00:17:45.440
 And I think Joshua probably actually picked up the pen

00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:47.900
 and wrote this in my opinion.

00:17:48.259 --> 00:17:50.480
 But Deuteronomy 34,

00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:53.120
 verse 10 says,

00:17:53.820 --> 00:17:58.820
 And there has not arisen a prophet since in Israel like Moses,

00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:02.340
 whom the Lord knew face to face,

00:18:02.779 --> 00:18:05.420
 none like him for all the signs and wonders

00:18:05.420 --> 00:18:08.920
 that the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt,

00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:11.220
 to Pharaoh and all his servants,

00:18:11.740 --> 00:18:12.799
 and to all his land.

00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:14.019
 Listen to this.

00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:15.960
 And for all the mighty power

00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:18.779
 and all the great deeds of terror

00:18:18.779 --> 00:18:21.919
 that Moses did in the sight of Israel.

00:18:23.159 --> 00:18:23.659
 So,

00:18:24.399 --> 00:18:26.299
 Moses is a huge deal.

00:18:27.159 --> 00:18:28.000
 Huge deal.

00:18:28.879 --> 00:18:30.779
 And God honored him as such.

00:18:32.700 --> 00:18:33.099
 So,

00:18:33.919 --> 00:18:34.440
 our writer,

00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:37.339
 getting back to Hebrews now,

00:18:37.399 --> 00:18:38.299
 you can flip back over.

00:18:39.299 --> 00:18:39.960
 Our writer,

00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:42.700
 it's important to kind of understand this.

00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:44.900
 He is not cutting down Moses.

00:18:45.019 --> 00:18:46.940
 He's not trying to belittle Moses

00:18:46.940 --> 00:18:49.180
 or take away from Moses at all.

00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:52.940
 And he does so by first kind of comparing Moses,

00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:56.360
 making comparison between Moses and Jesus.

00:18:57.120 --> 00:18:58.200
 In verse 2,

00:18:58.380 --> 00:18:59.039
 chapter 3,

00:18:59.900 --> 00:19:02.200
 it shows that both Moses and Jesus

00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:03.140
 were faithful

00:19:03.140 --> 00:19:04.500
 and trustworthy

00:19:04.500 --> 00:19:06.340
 in the work that God gave them to do.

00:19:06.339 --> 00:19:08.159
 They both carried out

00:19:08.159 --> 00:19:10.179
 the work God gave them.

00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:14.000
 And they were faithful in God's house,

00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:16.839
 which is a picture of God's people.

00:19:17.939 --> 00:19:20.099
 And he does that by quoting what I just read to you

00:19:20.099 --> 00:19:21.119
 out of Numbers 12,

00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:21.699
 where it says,

00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:24.500
 verse 2 there,

00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:25.519
 it says,

00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:25.960
 Jesus

00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:28.539
 was faithful to him,

00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:29.700
 who was God the Father,

00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:31.539
 who appointed him

00:19:31.539 --> 00:19:32.119
 just as he,

00:19:32.619 --> 00:19:33.639
 just as Moses

00:19:33.639 --> 00:19:34.879
 also was faithful

00:19:34.879 --> 00:19:36.539
 in all of God's house.

00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:38.980
 So he wanted that Jewish audience

00:19:38.980 --> 00:19:39.759
 to understand that.

00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:41.599
 I'm not taking anything away

00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:42.200
 from Moses.

00:19:42.339 --> 00:19:42.480
 Like,

00:19:42.539 --> 00:19:43.879
 what an honored

00:19:43.879 --> 00:19:45.839
 and incredible man

00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:46.940
 Moses was.

00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:48.720
 He was faithful

00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:49.779
 in his work

00:19:49.779 --> 00:19:50.839
 that God gave him to do.

00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:53.099
 Both Jesus and Moses

00:19:53.099 --> 00:19:55.200
 fulfilled their God-appointed roles.

00:19:56.119 --> 00:19:56.960
 And so although Jesus

00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:58.440
 is superior to Moses,

00:19:59.339 --> 00:20:01.539
 Moses deserves tremendous respect,

00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:03.799
 which actually makes Jesus

00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:04.819
 look even better

00:20:04.819 --> 00:20:07.779
 because Moses has such high respect.

00:20:08.579 --> 00:20:10.359
 So he wishes to honor Moses

00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:11.500
 by making a comparison,

00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:12.799
 but then he makes a contrast

00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:15.160
 in the next part of this.

00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:18.180
 So Christ is superior to Moses.

00:20:18.700 --> 00:20:20.119
 You see this in verse 3.

00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:23.400
 Jesus has been accounted worthy

00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:26.220
 of more glory than Moses.

00:20:27.500 --> 00:20:30.540
 And a tremendous contrast.

00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:33.560
 Moses was one of a kind

00:20:33.560 --> 00:20:34.300
 in his day

00:20:34.300 --> 00:20:36.700
 with more of an intimate relationship

00:20:36.700 --> 00:20:37.180
 with God

00:20:37.180 --> 00:20:38.320
 than anyone else.

00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:40.759
 So he's just saying

00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:42.159
 in the beginning of this,

00:20:42.879 --> 00:20:43.899
 consider Jesus.

00:20:44.879 --> 00:20:46.279
 The word consider.

00:20:46.439 --> 00:20:46.599
 Like,

00:20:46.700 --> 00:20:47.899
 stop doing what you're doing.

00:20:48.099 --> 00:20:48.539
 Focus.

00:20:49.740 --> 00:20:50.559
 Hone in on this.

00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:51.379
 Think about it.

00:20:51.500 --> 00:20:52.079
 Ponder it.

00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:53.480
 Meditate on it.

00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:55.159
 Consider why Jesus

00:20:55.159 --> 00:20:58.700
 is more glorious

00:20:58.700 --> 00:20:59.740
 than Moses.

00:20:59.740 --> 00:21:01.220
 Right?

00:21:01.339 --> 00:21:01.559
 So,

00:21:02.099 --> 00:21:03.000
 in the end of this,

00:21:03.120 --> 00:21:04.180
 why we need to do this,

00:21:04.259 --> 00:21:05.279
 like why this is important,

00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:05.920
 you'll see

00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:07.319
 at the end of our text

00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:08.779
 because it's going to give us

00:21:08.779 --> 00:21:09.759
 great hope

00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:11.039
 and confidence

00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:11.799
 in our faith

00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:13.039
 if we actually look

00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:14.140
 and see this comparison

00:21:14.140 --> 00:21:15.559
 or this contrast.

00:21:16.220 --> 00:21:17.259
 If we hold fast

00:21:17.259 --> 00:21:18.079
 our confidence

00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:19.980
 in the boast

00:21:19.980 --> 00:21:21.059
 of our hope

00:21:21.059 --> 00:21:22.299
 firm until the end,

00:21:22.380 --> 00:21:22.900
 which is what

00:21:22.900 --> 00:21:24.420
 Hebrews 3.6 says.

00:21:25.259 --> 00:21:26.160
 So let's look at

00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:26.720
 two ways

00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:27.559
 that the writer

00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:29.960
 makes the contrast

00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:31.100
 to say Jesus

00:21:31.100 --> 00:21:32.400
 is superior to Moses.

00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:33.940
 There's two ways.

00:21:34.100 --> 00:21:34.600
 Number one,

00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:37.759
 consider Jesus'

00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:40.100
 superior vocation.

00:21:41.120 --> 00:21:42.220
 Consider Jesus'

00:21:42.420 --> 00:21:43.720
 superior vocation.

00:21:44.500 --> 00:21:45.360
 See this in verse

00:21:45.360 --> 00:21:46.240
 three and four.

00:21:47.360 --> 00:21:47.839
 It says,

00:21:47.980 --> 00:21:49.440
 as much more glory

00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:50.559
 as the builder

00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:51.220
 of a house

00:21:51.220 --> 00:21:52.240
 has more honor

00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:53.819
 than the house itself.

00:21:54.660 --> 00:21:55.740
 For every house

00:21:55.740 --> 00:21:56.279
 is built

00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:57.119
 by someone

00:21:57.119 --> 00:21:58.359
 but the builder

00:21:58.359 --> 00:21:59.420
 of all things

00:21:59.420 --> 00:22:00.039
 is God.

00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:02.259
 So the first comparison

00:22:02.259 --> 00:22:02.899
 is relationship

00:22:02.899 --> 00:22:03.619
 to the house.

00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:06.299
 Jesus is the builder

00:22:06.299 --> 00:22:07.039
 of the house

00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:08.339
 but Moses is just

00:22:08.339 --> 00:22:09.879
 a part of the house.

00:22:10.500 --> 00:22:11.619
 The spiritual household

00:22:11.619 --> 00:22:12.119
 of God.

00:22:13.740 --> 00:22:14.720
 And it was common

00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:15.779
 and I don't know

00:22:15.779 --> 00:22:16.599
 if this is still true

00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:18.819
 but in the ancient world

00:22:18.819 --> 00:22:19.879
 it was really common

00:22:19.879 --> 00:22:20.819
 to equate

00:22:20.819 --> 00:22:22.279
 the architect

00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:24.119
 with more glory

00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:25.319
 than what they actually built.

00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:26.779
 which is kind of

00:22:26.779 --> 00:22:27.939
 a foreign concept today.

00:22:28.939 --> 00:22:29.819
 But like

00:22:29.819 --> 00:22:30.819
 every artist,

00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:31.599
 every architect

00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:32.919
 would have great honor

00:22:32.919 --> 00:22:33.619
 like more than

00:22:33.619 --> 00:22:34.839
 what they actually have made.

00:22:36.179 --> 00:22:36.639
 And so

00:22:36.639 --> 00:22:38.980
 trying to think of

00:22:38.980 --> 00:22:39.460
 an analogy

00:22:39.460 --> 00:22:40.200
 but it's going to

00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:40.980
 really fall short.

00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:45.079
 Imagine three of the

00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:46.299
 greatest athletes

00:22:46.299 --> 00:22:46.879
 out there.

00:22:47.939 --> 00:22:48.740
 Nolan Ryan,

00:22:49.539 --> 00:22:50.299
 one of my favorite.

00:22:50.299 --> 00:22:54.720
 5,714 strikeouts.

00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:56.359
 Still holds the record.

00:22:57.399 --> 00:22:57.960
 And he knocked out

00:22:57.960 --> 00:22:58.579
 a guy one time

00:22:58.579 --> 00:22:59.440
 and charged the mound too.

00:22:59.759 --> 00:22:59.740
 So

00:22:59.740 --> 00:23:03.799
 Michael Jordan,

00:23:03.980 --> 00:23:04.619
 probably the best

00:23:04.619 --> 00:23:05.740
 basketball player ever.

00:23:07.379 --> 00:23:08.000
 I don't know why

00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:08.839
 I threw Tom Brady

00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:09.180
 in the air.

00:23:09.259 --> 00:23:10.000
 It was just really late

00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:10.960
 when I was figuring this out.

00:23:11.059 --> 00:23:11.599
 Tom Brady,

00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:14.039
 six Super Bowl rings.

00:23:15.339 --> 00:23:15.779
 Ridiculous.

00:23:15.779 --> 00:23:17.940
 And then

00:23:17.940 --> 00:23:19.039
 throw in somebody else

00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:20.680
 that you just

00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:21.559
 thinks all that.

00:23:21.639 --> 00:23:22.139
 Nolan Ryan,

00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:22.839
 Michael Jordan,

00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:23.559
 Tom Brady,

00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:25.139
 and Jesus.

00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:27.500
 Sitting around

00:23:27.500 --> 00:23:28.059
 discussing

00:23:28.059 --> 00:23:29.299
 how amazing

00:23:29.299 --> 00:23:30.399
 their careers were

00:23:30.399 --> 00:23:31.700
 and how great

00:23:31.700 --> 00:23:32.220
 they were.

00:23:32.460 --> 00:23:33.240
 Kind of acting

00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:34.339
 humbly on the outside

00:23:34.339 --> 00:23:35.279
 but inwardly thinking

00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:36.559
 I'm better than

00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:37.039
 these guys.

00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:37.440
 like,

00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:38.980
 I deserve

00:23:38.980 --> 00:23:39.680
 much more

00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:40.319
 glory

00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:41.240
 than these guys.

00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:42.859
 But acting

00:23:42.859 --> 00:23:43.920
 humbly on the outside.

00:23:45.539 --> 00:23:46.200
 And when they're

00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:46.779
 done talking

00:23:46.779 --> 00:23:47.460
 around their mouths

00:23:47.460 --> 00:23:47.859
 they look over

00:23:47.859 --> 00:23:48.619
 to Jesus and say,

00:23:49.539 --> 00:23:50.480
 how about you Jesus?

00:23:51.420 --> 00:23:52.440
 And in true

00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:53.019
 humility,

00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:54.059
 like inwardly

00:23:54.059 --> 00:23:54.779
 and outwardly

00:23:54.779 --> 00:23:55.680
 he just says to them,

00:23:55.819 --> 00:23:56.000
 well,

00:23:57.180 --> 00:23:57.839
 well fellows

00:23:57.839 --> 00:23:58.659
 at some point

00:23:58.659 --> 00:23:59.960
 in history

00:23:59.960 --> 00:24:00.659
 you ceased

00:24:00.659 --> 00:24:01.359
 to exist

00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:02.940
 until I spoke

00:24:02.940 --> 00:24:03.639
 you into being.

00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:05.440
 I created

00:24:05.440 --> 00:24:06.240
 and fashioned you.

00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:07.160
 I made your minds,

00:24:07.299 --> 00:24:07.720
 your hearts,

00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:08.400
 your legs,

00:24:08.460 --> 00:24:09.019
 your arms.

00:24:10.220 --> 00:24:11.380
 I sustained you

00:24:11.380 --> 00:24:12.480
 from your mother's womb

00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:13.819
 and I still sustain you

00:24:13.819 --> 00:24:15.279
 even now.

00:24:15.700 --> 00:24:16.700
 And I gave you

00:24:16.700 --> 00:24:17.880
 the skills

00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:18.579
 that you have.

00:24:19.460 --> 00:24:20.059
 So actually,

00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:20.519
 boys,

00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:22.019
 I'm the greatest.

00:24:23.140 --> 00:24:23.880
 And he says that

00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:24.519
 in like the truest

00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:25.079
 humility.

00:24:26.579 --> 00:24:27.160
 Like he

00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:28.620
 made us.

00:24:28.660 --> 00:24:29.640
 He made Moses.

00:24:29.859 --> 00:24:30.579
 He created

00:24:30.579 --> 00:24:31.599
 Moses.

00:24:32.259 --> 00:24:33.019
 And he created

00:24:33.019 --> 00:24:33.680
 us.

00:24:34.660 --> 00:24:35.579
 So Jesus

00:24:35.579 --> 00:24:36.639
 is to the people

00:24:36.639 --> 00:24:37.059
 of God

00:24:37.059 --> 00:24:37.659
 as the builder

00:24:37.659 --> 00:24:38.679
 is to a house.

00:24:39.679 --> 00:24:40.699
 Moses was just

00:24:40.699 --> 00:24:41.460
 a part of

00:24:41.460 --> 00:24:42.259
 God's house.

00:24:43.599 --> 00:24:44.179
 So Moses

00:24:44.179 --> 00:24:45.779
 is,

00:24:47.259 --> 00:24:48.139
 let's see here,

00:24:48.500 --> 00:24:49.500
 best way to phrase this,

00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:51.240
 Jesus made Moses,

00:24:51.419 --> 00:24:52.179
 he made us,

00:24:53.019 --> 00:24:53.500
 and this

00:24:53.500 --> 00:24:54.059
 gives us,

00:24:54.319 --> 00:24:54.480
 like,

00:24:54.539 --> 00:24:55.299
 look at verse 4

00:24:55.299 --> 00:24:55.879
 real quick,

00:24:56.519 --> 00:24:57.220
 gives us,

00:24:58.359 --> 00:24:59.339
 for every house

00:24:59.339 --> 00:25:00.399
 is built by someone,

00:25:00.500 --> 00:25:01.039
 but the builder

00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:02.179
 of all things

00:25:02.179 --> 00:25:02.799
 is God.

00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:02.839
 God.

00:25:04.180 --> 00:25:05.180
 And then in verse 3

00:25:05.180 --> 00:25:06.419
 it says that

00:25:06.419 --> 00:25:07.579
 Jesus made

00:25:07.579 --> 00:25:08.119
 the house

00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:08.720
 of God.

00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:11.099
 He's the maker

00:25:11.099 --> 00:25:11.899
 of all things.

00:25:11.980 --> 00:25:12.899
 Remember chapter 1

00:25:12.899 --> 00:25:14.639
 how God

00:25:14.639 --> 00:25:15.960
 created all things

00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:16.579
 through him?

00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:17.779
 Chapter 1,

00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:18.279
 verse 2

00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:18.740
 of Hebrews.

00:25:19.579 --> 00:25:20.180
 He is the

00:25:20.180 --> 00:25:20.859
 son of God.

00:25:21.700 --> 00:25:22.259
 So they were

00:25:22.259 --> 00:25:23.259
 both faithful,

00:25:24.519 --> 00:25:25.240
 but

00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:26.279
 Jesus

00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:27.319
 actually built

00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:27.839
 the house

00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:28.500
 and he made

00:25:28.500 --> 00:25:28.940
 Moses.

00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:29.200
 Well,

00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:30.000
 Moses is just

00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:30.879
 a part of

00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:31.500
 that house.

00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:32.760
 So he is

00:25:32.760 --> 00:25:33.280
 worthy of

00:25:33.280 --> 00:25:34.300
 much more glory

00:25:34.300 --> 00:25:34.900
 than Moses

00:25:34.900 --> 00:25:36.300
 as the builder

00:25:36.300 --> 00:25:36.800
 is

00:25:36.800 --> 00:25:39.020
 to a house.

00:25:39.660 --> 00:25:40.420
 So never be

00:25:40.420 --> 00:25:41.120
 haughty about

00:25:41.120 --> 00:25:41.580
 what you've

00:25:41.580 --> 00:25:42.020
 accomplished

00:25:42.020 --> 00:25:42.580
 or what you

00:25:42.580 --> 00:25:43.040
 think you've

00:25:43.040 --> 00:25:43.320
 done

00:25:43.320 --> 00:25:43.900
 or how great

00:25:43.900 --> 00:25:44.400
 you are.

00:25:45.040 --> 00:25:45.540
 You don't

00:25:45.540 --> 00:25:46.060
 come close

00:25:46.060 --> 00:25:46.520
 to Moses.

00:25:47.500 --> 00:25:47.840
 No one

00:25:47.840 --> 00:25:48.240
 does.

00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:49.620
 But Jesus

00:25:49.620 --> 00:25:50.480
 made you

00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:50.880
 and so

00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:51.220
 when you

00:25:51.220 --> 00:25:51.600
 boast,

00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:52.220
 boast only

00:25:52.220 --> 00:25:52.780
 in the Lord

00:25:52.780 --> 00:25:54.280
 that he

00:25:54.280 --> 00:25:55.340
 has given

00:25:55.340 --> 00:25:56.140
 you every

00:25:56.140 --> 00:25:57.920
 good thing

00:25:57.920 --> 00:25:58.200
 that you

00:25:58.200 --> 00:25:58.620
 have.

00:25:58.619 --> 00:26:00.539
 to only

00:26:00.539 --> 00:26:01.219
 boast in

00:26:01.219 --> 00:26:01.659
 Christ.

00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:02.939
 So that's

00:26:02.939 --> 00:26:03.359
 the first

00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:03.579
 one.

00:26:03.699 --> 00:26:03.979
 Consider

00:26:03.979 --> 00:26:04.359
 Jesus'

00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:04.919
 superior

00:26:04.919 --> 00:26:05.619
 vocation

00:26:05.619 --> 00:26:05.979
 or his

00:26:05.979 --> 00:26:06.359
 superior

00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:07.000
 work

00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:07.759
 that he

00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:08.099
 did.

00:26:09.439 --> 00:26:09.879
 And

00:26:09.879 --> 00:26:10.219
 number

00:26:10.219 --> 00:26:10.599
 two,

00:26:11.539 --> 00:26:11.899
 you see

00:26:11.899 --> 00:26:12.199
 this in

00:26:12.199 --> 00:26:12.779
 verses 5

00:26:12.779 --> 00:26:13.259
 and 6,

00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:14.739
 consider

00:26:14.739 --> 00:26:15.379
 Jesus,

00:26:15.539 --> 00:26:15.859
 Jesus'

00:26:16.039 --> 00:26:16.500
 superior

00:26:16.500 --> 00:26:17.299
 person.

00:26:18.439 --> 00:26:18.919
 Consider

00:26:18.919 --> 00:26:19.839
 Jesus'

00:26:20.039 --> 00:26:20.439
 superior

00:26:20.439 --> 00:26:21.139
 person.

00:26:22.659 --> 00:26:23.259
 Right?

00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:24.419
 Verse 5,

00:26:24.899 --> 00:26:25.479
 now Moses

00:26:25.479 --> 00:26:26.159
 was faithful

00:26:26.159 --> 00:26:26.619
 in all

00:26:26.619 --> 00:26:27.000
 God's

00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:27.519
 house as

00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:28.059
 a servant

00:26:28.059 --> 00:26:29.720
 to testify

00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:30.359
 to the

00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:31.119
 things that

00:26:31.119 --> 00:26:31.460
 were to

00:26:31.460 --> 00:26:32.139
 be spoken

00:26:32.139 --> 00:26:32.599
 later.

00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:34.000
 But Christ

00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:34.599
 is faithful

00:26:34.599 --> 00:26:35.279
 over God's

00:26:35.279 --> 00:26:35.919
 house as

00:26:35.919 --> 00:26:36.419
 a son.

00:26:37.639 --> 00:26:38.039
 So,

00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:39.960
 there's a

00:26:39.960 --> 00:26:40.759
 really easy

00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:41.299
 comparison

00:26:41.299 --> 00:26:41.579
 there.

00:26:41.700 --> 00:26:42.019
 Moses

00:26:42.019 --> 00:26:43.700
 was incredible.

00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:44.419
 He was a

00:26:44.419 --> 00:26:45.779
 servant and

00:26:45.779 --> 00:26:46.159
 he served

00:26:46.159 --> 00:26:46.980
 faithfully as

00:26:46.980 --> 00:26:47.399
 a servant,

00:26:47.879 --> 00:26:48.299
 but Jesus

00:26:48.299 --> 00:26:49.379
 is a son

00:26:49.379 --> 00:26:50.279
 of that

00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:50.639
 house.

00:26:52.139 --> 00:26:52.679
 Huge

00:26:52.679 --> 00:26:53.220
 comparison,

00:26:53.399 --> 00:26:53.599
 huge

00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:54.000
 difference.

00:26:54.759 --> 00:26:55.240
 But again,

00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:55.940
 the writer is

00:26:55.940 --> 00:26:56.559
 not trying to

00:26:56.559 --> 00:26:57.240
 take away from

00:26:57.240 --> 00:26:57.920
 Moses at

00:26:57.920 --> 00:26:58.220
 all.

00:26:59.059 --> 00:26:59.500
 I actually

00:26:59.500 --> 00:27:00.180
 read about

00:27:00.180 --> 00:27:00.539
 this.

00:27:01.220 --> 00:27:01.700
 The word

00:27:01.700 --> 00:27:02.359
 servant here

00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:02.900
 that's used

00:27:02.900 --> 00:27:03.420
 for Moses

00:27:03.420 --> 00:27:05.660
 is the

00:27:05.660 --> 00:27:06.220
 only time

00:27:06.220 --> 00:27:06.680
 this word

00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:07.140
 is actually

00:27:07.140 --> 00:27:07.579
 used in

00:27:07.579 --> 00:27:07.799
 the New

00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:08.160
 Testament.

00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:10.279
 Servant.

00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:12.120
 But what

00:27:12.120 --> 00:27:12.579
 it means

00:27:12.579 --> 00:27:13.859
 is an

00:27:13.859 --> 00:27:14.299
 honored

00:27:14.299 --> 00:27:14.720
 servant

00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:15.099
 who is

00:27:15.099 --> 00:27:15.940
 far above

00:27:15.940 --> 00:27:16.559
 a slave,

00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:17.160
 but yet

00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:17.859
 still is a

00:27:17.859 --> 00:27:18.140
 servant.

00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:19.519
 Wow,

00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:20.059
 that's

00:27:20.059 --> 00:27:20.400
 singling

00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:21.120
 Moses out

00:27:21.120 --> 00:27:21.620
 and bringing

00:27:21.620 --> 00:27:22.059
 him up a

00:27:22.059 --> 00:27:22.380
 notch,

00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:22.799
 actually.

00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:24.039
 So he's

00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:24.579
 still honoring

00:27:24.579 --> 00:27:25.119
 Moses,

00:27:25.940 --> 00:27:28.419
 but in

00:27:28.419 --> 00:27:28.980
 the house

00:27:28.980 --> 00:27:29.659
 of God,

00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:30.740
 Moses showed

00:27:30.740 --> 00:27:31.460
 great trust

00:27:31.460 --> 00:27:31.879
 in him.

00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:33.180
 He refused

00:27:33.180 --> 00:27:33.759
 the privileges

00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:34.919
 and rights

00:27:34.919 --> 00:27:35.980
 of living

00:27:35.980 --> 00:27:37.099
 a wealthy

00:27:37.099 --> 00:27:37.940
 life in

00:27:37.940 --> 00:27:38.680
 Egypt as

00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:39.980
 Pharaoh's

00:27:39.980 --> 00:27:41.259
 son,

00:27:42.059 --> 00:27:43.059
 chose to

00:27:43.059 --> 00:27:43.480
 associate

00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:44.180
 with his

00:27:44.180 --> 00:27:44.740
 people in

00:27:44.740 --> 00:27:45.740
 slavery instead,

00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:46.799
 and he

00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:47.720
 showed fervent

00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:48.299
 obedience,

00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:48.599
 right?

00:27:48.639 --> 00:27:49.019
 Like he was

00:27:49.019 --> 00:27:49.339
 such a

00:27:49.339 --> 00:27:50.019
 humble guy.

00:27:50.019 --> 00:27:51.079
 He followed

00:27:51.079 --> 00:27:51.779
 the task

00:27:51.779 --> 00:27:52.059
 that the

00:27:52.059 --> 00:27:52.720
 Lord gave

00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:53.000
 him,

00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:53.900
 and he

00:27:53.900 --> 00:27:54.180
 was the

00:27:54.180 --> 00:27:54.700
 intercessor

00:27:54.700 --> 00:27:55.019
 of the

00:27:55.019 --> 00:27:55.259
 people.

00:27:55.420 --> 00:27:56.000
 Even though

00:27:56.000 --> 00:27:56.839
 Aaron was

00:27:56.839 --> 00:27:57.920
 the high

00:27:57.920 --> 00:27:58.639
 priest and

00:27:58.639 --> 00:27:59.859
 his family

00:27:59.859 --> 00:28:00.279
 kind of

00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:00.799
 followed him

00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:01.019
 that,

00:28:01.139 --> 00:28:01.539
 Aaron let

00:28:01.539 --> 00:28:01.859
 the people

00:28:01.859 --> 00:28:02.460
 down a

00:28:02.460 --> 00:28:02.819
 lot,

00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:03.900
 and Moses

00:28:03.900 --> 00:28:04.420
 was the

00:28:04.420 --> 00:28:04.819
 true

00:28:04.819 --> 00:28:05.420
 intercessor

00:28:05.420 --> 00:28:06.039
 of the

00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:06.319
 people.

00:28:07.500 --> 00:28:08.579
 He was

00:28:08.579 --> 00:28:09.819
 such a

00:28:09.819 --> 00:28:10.440
 humble and

00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:11.400
 faithful man.

00:28:12.539 --> 00:28:12.940
 But,

00:28:13.660 --> 00:28:14.599
 as we read,

00:28:14.700 --> 00:28:14.900
 it says,

00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:16.680
 Moses testified

00:28:16.680 --> 00:28:17.599
 to the things

00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:17.920
 that were to

00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:18.379
 be spoken

00:28:18.379 --> 00:28:18.900
 later.

00:28:18.900 --> 00:28:20.360
 meaning he

00:28:20.360 --> 00:28:21.200
 testified of

00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:21.480
 Christ.

00:28:21.580 --> 00:28:22.019
 He talked

00:28:22.019 --> 00:28:22.980
 about Jesus.

00:28:24.800 --> 00:28:25.380
 Hold your

00:28:25.380 --> 00:28:25.860
 hand, but

00:28:25.860 --> 00:28:26.519
 there's only

00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:26.940
 two places

00:28:26.940 --> 00:28:27.280
 for you to

00:28:27.280 --> 00:28:27.620
 look after

00:28:27.620 --> 00:28:28.100
 this, but

00:28:28.100 --> 00:28:29.620
 John 5,

00:28:29.700 --> 00:28:30.000
 this is

00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:30.480
 incredible.

00:28:32.540 --> 00:28:32.980
 John

00:28:32.980 --> 00:28:33.820
 chapter 5,

00:28:35.460 --> 00:28:40.400
 verse 39,

00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:45.640
 Jesus is

00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:47.380
 in a

00:28:47.380 --> 00:28:48.280
 holy argument

00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:50.039
 with religious

00:28:50.039 --> 00:28:50.460
 leaders,

00:28:50.460 --> 00:28:50.940
 and he's

00:28:50.940 --> 00:28:51.359
 putting them

00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:51.639
 in their

00:28:51.639 --> 00:28:52.000
 place,

00:28:52.059 --> 00:28:52.299
 but they

00:28:52.299 --> 00:28:52.920
 are rejecting

00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:53.319
 him,

00:28:53.420 --> 00:28:53.879
 they are

00:28:53.879 --> 00:28:55.599
 angry with

00:28:55.599 --> 00:28:55.920
 him,

00:28:57.119 --> 00:28:57.839
 and this

00:28:57.839 --> 00:28:58.359
 is what he

00:28:58.359 --> 00:28:58.839
 says to

00:28:58.839 --> 00:28:59.039
 them,

00:28:59.139 --> 00:28:59.740
 John 5,

00:28:59.920 --> 00:29:00.480
 verse 39,

00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:01.940
 he says,

00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:03.000
 you search

00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:04.139
 the scriptures

00:29:04.139 --> 00:29:04.819
 because you

00:29:04.819 --> 00:29:05.819
 think that in

00:29:05.819 --> 00:29:07.240
 them you have

00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:08.039
 eternal life,

00:29:08.500 --> 00:29:09.680
 and it is

00:29:09.680 --> 00:29:10.579
 they that bear

00:29:10.579 --> 00:29:11.339
 witness about

00:29:11.339 --> 00:29:11.740
 me,

00:29:12.399 --> 00:29:13.399
 yet you refuse

00:29:13.399 --> 00:29:13.940
 to come to

00:29:13.940 --> 00:29:15.000
 me that you

00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:15.299
 may have

00:29:15.299 --> 00:29:15.700
 life.

00:29:15.700 --> 00:29:17.299
 stop there,

00:29:17.600 --> 00:29:17.900
 like,

00:29:18.980 --> 00:29:21.200
 this is an

00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:22.000
 incredible gift

00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:22.539
 of God,

00:29:22.980 --> 00:29:23.360
 but just

00:29:23.360 --> 00:29:24.039
 knowing facts

00:29:24.039 --> 00:29:24.600
 about this

00:29:24.600 --> 00:29:25.059
 won't bring

00:29:25.059 --> 00:29:25.559
 you life.

00:29:26.299 --> 00:29:26.799
 It's about

00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:27.460
 knowing the

00:29:27.460 --> 00:29:28.980
 Savior that

00:29:28.980 --> 00:29:29.680
 this testifies

00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:30.000
 of.

00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:31.299
 Jesus says

00:29:31.299 --> 00:29:31.720
 that right

00:29:31.720 --> 00:29:31.980
 here,

00:29:32.980 --> 00:29:33.519
 these bear

00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:34.380
 witness about

00:29:34.380 --> 00:29:35.019
 me, but

00:29:35.019 --> 00:29:35.340
 you didn't

00:29:35.340 --> 00:29:35.940
 come to

00:29:35.940 --> 00:29:36.299
 me.

00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:38.360
 So,

00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:39.400
 sobering

00:29:39.400 --> 00:29:39.740
 warning,

00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:40.600
 so go to

00:29:40.600 --> 00:29:41.000
 Jesus,

00:29:42.299 --> 00:29:42.720
 the one that

00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:43.500
 this testifies

00:29:43.500 --> 00:29:43.819
 of.

00:29:44.380 --> 00:29:44.759
 Then he

00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:45.099
 says,

00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:46.619
 I do not

00:29:46.619 --> 00:29:47.440
 receive glory

00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:48.119
 from people,

00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:49.619
 but I know

00:29:49.619 --> 00:29:50.140
 that you do

00:29:50.140 --> 00:29:51.119
 not have the

00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:51.839
 love of God

00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:52.539
 within you.

00:29:53.539 --> 00:29:54.599
 I have come

00:29:54.599 --> 00:29:54.920
 in my

00:29:54.920 --> 00:29:55.940
 Father's name,

00:29:56.319 --> 00:29:56.940
 and you do

00:29:56.940 --> 00:29:57.680
 not receive

00:29:57.680 --> 00:29:57.960
 me.

00:29:58.640 --> 00:29:59.299
 If another

00:29:59.299 --> 00:29:59.980
 comes in his

00:29:59.980 --> 00:30:00.380
 own name,

00:30:00.420 --> 00:30:00.839
 you receive

00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:01.180
 him.

00:30:02.140 --> 00:30:02.819
 How can you

00:30:02.819 --> 00:30:04.019
 believe when

00:30:04.019 --> 00:30:04.500
 you receive

00:30:04.500 --> 00:30:05.299
 glory from

00:30:05.299 --> 00:30:05.920
 one another

00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:07.180
 and do not

00:30:07.180 --> 00:30:07.619
 seek the

00:30:07.619 --> 00:30:08.160
 glory that

00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:08.640
 comes from

00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:09.200
 the only

00:30:09.200 --> 00:30:09.740
 God?

00:30:11.099 --> 00:30:11.599
 Listen to

00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:11.779
 this,

00:30:11.779 --> 00:30:12.319
 do not

00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:13.440
 think that

00:30:13.440 --> 00:30:13.899
 I will

00:30:13.899 --> 00:30:14.480
 accuse you

00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:14.839
 to my

00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:15.220
 Father.

00:30:16.099 --> 00:30:16.579
 There is

00:30:16.579 --> 00:30:17.119
 one who

00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:17.940
 accuses you,

00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:18.940
 Moses,

00:30:19.859 --> 00:30:20.339
 on whom

00:30:20.339 --> 00:30:20.720
 you have

00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:21.160
 set your

00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:21.500
 hope.

00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:22.599
 For if

00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:22.899
 you had

00:30:22.899 --> 00:30:23.299
 believed

00:30:23.299 --> 00:30:23.839
 Moses,

00:30:24.259 --> 00:30:24.859
 you would

00:30:24.859 --> 00:30:24.980
 have

00:30:24.980 --> 00:30:25.319
 believed

00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:25.799
 me,

00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:26.200
 for he

00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:26.579
 wrote

00:30:26.579 --> 00:30:27.299
 about me.

00:30:27.960 --> 00:30:28.359
 But if

00:30:28.359 --> 00:30:28.619
 you do

00:30:28.619 --> 00:30:29.200
 not believe

00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:29.480
 his

00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:29.960
 writings,

00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:31.039
 how will

00:30:31.039 --> 00:30:31.680
 you believe

00:30:31.680 --> 00:30:32.559
 my words?

00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:34.500
 Man.

00:30:36.139 --> 00:30:36.779
 Jesus

00:30:36.779 --> 00:30:38.420
 was spoken

00:30:38.420 --> 00:30:39.680
 of by

00:30:39.680 --> 00:30:40.160
 Moses.

00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:41.460
 in

00:30:41.460 --> 00:30:41.960
 Deuteronomy

00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:42.240
 and other

00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:42.600
 places,

00:30:42.740 --> 00:30:43.080
 he says,

00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:43.400
 I will

00:30:43.400 --> 00:30:43.820
 raise up

00:30:43.820 --> 00:30:44.320
 a prophet

00:30:44.320 --> 00:30:45.100
 that will

00:30:45.100 --> 00:30:45.540
 speak the

00:30:45.540 --> 00:30:45.960
 words of

00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:46.259
 God,

00:30:46.300 --> 00:30:46.540
 and you

00:30:46.540 --> 00:30:47.180
 must listen

00:30:47.180 --> 00:30:47.720
 to him.

00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:48.740
 He is

00:30:48.740 --> 00:30:49.120
 to come

00:30:49.120 --> 00:30:49.920
 from this

00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:50.259
 people,

00:30:50.380 --> 00:30:50.500
 and he

00:30:50.500 --> 00:30:50.759
 is to

00:30:50.759 --> 00:30:51.279
 speak the

00:30:51.279 --> 00:30:51.720
 words of

00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:52.060
 God,

00:30:52.840 --> 00:30:53.259
 listen to

00:30:53.259 --> 00:30:53.540
 him.

00:30:55.500 --> 00:30:56.019
 And then

00:30:56.019 --> 00:30:56.560
 we also

00:30:56.560 --> 00:30:56.840
 know the

00:30:56.840 --> 00:30:57.400
 image of

00:30:57.400 --> 00:30:57.840
 Jesus,

00:30:58.480 --> 00:30:59.640
 and later

00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:00.100
 in John

00:31:00.100 --> 00:31:00.360
 3,

00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:00.720
 saying,

00:31:01.279 --> 00:31:01.840
 as Moses

00:31:01.840 --> 00:31:02.580
 raised up a

00:31:02.580 --> 00:31:03.200
 bronze serpent

00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:03.480
 in the

00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:03.740
 desert,

00:31:03.840 --> 00:31:04.060
 so the

00:31:04.060 --> 00:31:04.400
 all would

00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:04.980
 look upon

00:31:04.980 --> 00:31:06.000
 that bronze

00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:06.540
 serpent in

00:31:06.540 --> 00:31:07.000
 faith,

00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:08.140
 in faith,

00:31:08.740 --> 00:31:09.380
 and believe

00:31:09.380 --> 00:31:09.900
 they would be

00:31:09.900 --> 00:31:10.180
 saved,

00:31:10.280 --> 00:31:10.440
 they would

00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:10.980
 be spared

00:31:10.980 --> 00:31:11.640
 death.

00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:12.660
 And that

00:31:12.660 --> 00:31:13.019
 was a

00:31:13.019 --> 00:31:13.460
 picture,

00:31:13.620 --> 00:31:14.100
 an image

00:31:14.100 --> 00:31:15.380
 of Jesus,

00:31:16.580 --> 00:31:17.259
 us looking

00:31:17.259 --> 00:31:17.820
 to him

00:31:17.820 --> 00:31:18.519
 to be

00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:18.960
 saved.

00:31:20.259 --> 00:31:20.660
 So,

00:31:20.900 --> 00:31:21.220
 Jesus

00:31:21.220 --> 00:31:23.400
 is the

00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:24.060
 son of

00:31:24.060 --> 00:31:24.420
 the house

00:31:24.420 --> 00:31:24.840
 of God.

00:31:25.100 --> 00:31:25.660
 Moses is

00:31:25.660 --> 00:31:26.160
 the servant

00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:27.300
 of the house

00:31:27.300 --> 00:31:27.740
 of God.

00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:28.740
 And the

00:31:28.740 --> 00:31:29.400
 differences are

00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:30.000
 immense between

00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:30.460
 a servant

00:31:30.460 --> 00:31:31.100
 and a son.

00:31:31.660 --> 00:31:32.140
 The son

00:31:32.140 --> 00:31:32.500
 obtained

00:31:32.500 --> 00:31:33.180
 inheritance,

00:31:33.500 --> 00:31:34.019
 the inheritance.

00:31:34.900 --> 00:31:35.380
 He was the

00:31:35.380 --> 00:31:35.800
 Lord over

00:31:35.800 --> 00:31:36.360
 the house.

00:31:37.080 --> 00:31:37.740
 He provided

00:31:37.740 --> 00:31:38.660
 for all the

00:31:38.660 --> 00:31:39.300
 servants in

00:31:39.300 --> 00:31:39.720
 the house.

00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:40.180
 out of his

00:31:40.180 --> 00:31:40.779
 own wealth.

00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:42.519
 But servants

00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:43.039
 didn't own

00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:43.680
 anything in

00:31:43.680 --> 00:31:44.100
 the house.

00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:45.720
 They received

00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:46.400
 provision from

00:31:46.400 --> 00:31:46.860
 the master

00:31:46.860 --> 00:31:47.200
 and they

00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:47.720
 followed the

00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:48.360
 words of

00:31:48.360 --> 00:31:48.900
 the master.

00:31:50.259 --> 00:31:50.960
 Moses is

00:31:50.960 --> 00:31:51.380
 just that

00:31:51.380 --> 00:31:51.660
 servant.

00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:52.079
 He doesn't

00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:52.460
 own the

00:31:52.460 --> 00:31:52.799
 house.

00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:54.079
 He doesn't

00:31:54.079 --> 00:31:54.960
 provide for

00:31:54.960 --> 00:31:55.480
 anything in

00:31:55.480 --> 00:31:55.980
 the house.

00:31:56.660 --> 00:31:57.319
 He follows

00:31:57.319 --> 00:31:57.920
 the word

00:31:57.920 --> 00:31:58.460
 of the

00:31:58.460 --> 00:31:58.819
 master.

00:32:00.140 --> 00:32:00.360
 So,

00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:01.079
 Jesus is

00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:01.519
 the son,

00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:02.000
 the superior

00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:02.579
 to Moses.

00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:04.319
 Those three

00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:04.640
 ways,

00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:05.360
 Jesus owns

00:32:05.360 --> 00:32:05.819
 the house,

00:32:06.460 --> 00:32:07.000
 he rules

00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:07.240
 it,

00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:07.640
 and he

00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:08.339
 provides for

00:32:08.339 --> 00:32:08.519
 it.

00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:09.359
 So,

00:32:09.419 --> 00:32:09.639
 we have

00:32:09.639 --> 00:32:10.259
 to consider

00:32:10.259 --> 00:32:11.299
 Jesus as

00:32:11.299 --> 00:32:11.679
 the son

00:32:11.679 --> 00:32:12.199
 of God,

00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:13.459
 a privileged

00:32:13.459 --> 00:32:14.720
 place in

00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:15.279
 the household

00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:15.919
 of God,

00:32:16.419 --> 00:32:17.480
 while Moses

00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:18.139
 still honored,

00:32:18.199 --> 00:32:19.019
 yet remains a

00:32:19.019 --> 00:32:20.439
 servant in

00:32:20.439 --> 00:32:21.019
 that house.

00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:22.819
 But,

00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:25.079
 again,

00:32:25.279 --> 00:32:25.679
 I think

00:32:25.679 --> 00:32:26.759
 Jesus himself

00:32:26.759 --> 00:32:28.859
 honored Moses

00:32:28.859 --> 00:32:29.419
 more than we

00:32:29.419 --> 00:32:29.759
 could ever

00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:30.419
 imagine.

00:32:30.420 --> 00:32:32.200
 this is

00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:32.800
 the last

00:32:32.800 --> 00:32:33.120
 place I

00:32:33.120 --> 00:32:33.340
 want you

00:32:33.340 --> 00:32:33.740
 to turn,

00:32:33.900 --> 00:32:34.180
 but look

00:32:34.180 --> 00:32:34.519
 at Luke

00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:34.880
 9.

00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:38.320
 Luke

00:32:38.320 --> 00:32:38.759
 chapter

00:32:38.759 --> 00:32:39.240
 9,

00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:40.620
 verse

00:32:40.620 --> 00:32:41.160
 28.

00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:44.360
 The

00:32:44.360 --> 00:32:45.600
 transfiguration.

00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:51.400
 Alright?

00:32:51.980 --> 00:32:52.920
 And Luke

00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:53.220
 9,

00:32:53.259 --> 00:32:53.820
 verse 28.

00:32:54.460 --> 00:32:54.980
 Now,

00:32:55.100 --> 00:32:55.660
 about eight

00:32:55.660 --> 00:32:57.539
 days after

00:32:57.539 --> 00:32:58.320
 these sayings,

00:32:58.319 --> 00:32:58.759
 he took

00:32:58.759 --> 00:32:59.500
 with him

00:32:59.500 --> 00:32:59.879
 Peter,

00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:00.599
 John,

00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:01.299
 and James,

00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:02.359
 and went

00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:02.939
 up on the

00:33:02.939 --> 00:33:03.460
 mountain to

00:33:03.460 --> 00:33:03.779
 pray.

00:33:04.939 --> 00:33:05.700
 And as he

00:33:05.700 --> 00:33:06.220
 was praying,

00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:06.859
 the appearance

00:33:06.859 --> 00:33:07.799
 of his face

00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:09.019
 was altered,

00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:10.240
 and his

00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:11.119
 clothing became

00:33:11.119 --> 00:33:12.339
 dazzling white.

00:33:13.339 --> 00:33:14.000
 And behold,

00:33:14.159 --> 00:33:15.039
 two men were

00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:15.919
 talking with him,

00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:17.700
 Moses and

00:33:17.700 --> 00:33:18.159
 Elijah,

00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:19.740
 who appeared

00:33:19.740 --> 00:33:20.740
 in glory and

00:33:20.740 --> 00:33:21.399
 spoke of his

00:33:21.399 --> 00:33:21.899
 departure,

00:33:22.639 --> 00:33:23.059
 which he was

00:33:23.059 --> 00:33:23.659
 about to

00:33:23.659 --> 00:33:24.500
 accomplish at

00:33:24.500 --> 00:33:24.879
 Jerusalem.

00:33:26.139 --> 00:33:26.379
 Now,

00:33:26.419 --> 00:33:27.299
 Peter and those

00:33:27.299 --> 00:33:27.759
 who were with

00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:28.119
 him were

00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:29.359
 heavy with

00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:29.779
 sleep,

00:33:30.639 --> 00:33:30.960
 but when

00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:33.339
 they became

00:33:33.339 --> 00:33:34.079
 fully awake,

00:33:34.159 --> 00:33:34.599
 they saw

00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:35.379
 his glory

00:33:35.379 --> 00:33:36.539
 and the two

00:33:36.539 --> 00:33:36.960
 men who

00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:37.399
 stood with

00:33:37.399 --> 00:33:37.639
 him.

00:33:38.639 --> 00:33:39.159
 And as

00:33:39.159 --> 00:33:39.519
 the men

00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:40.659
 were parting

00:33:40.659 --> 00:33:41.180
 from him,

00:33:41.319 --> 00:33:41.619
 Peter,

00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:42.180
 of course

00:33:42.180 --> 00:33:42.440
 Peter,

00:33:42.819 --> 00:33:43.220
 said to

00:33:43.220 --> 00:33:43.539
 Jesus,

00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:44.200
 Master,

00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:45.720
 it is good

00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:46.139
 that we are

00:33:46.139 --> 00:33:46.379
 here.

00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:46.839
 Let us

00:33:46.839 --> 00:33:47.460
 make three

00:33:47.460 --> 00:33:47.899
 tents,

00:33:48.139 --> 00:33:48.519
 one for

00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:48.839
 you,

00:33:49.339 --> 00:33:49.740
 and one

00:33:49.740 --> 00:33:50.259
 for Moses,

00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:50.839
 and one

00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:51.480
 for Elijah,

00:33:52.539 --> 00:33:53.299
 not knowing

00:33:53.299 --> 00:33:53.759
 what he

00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:54.139
 said.

00:33:54.140 --> 00:33:55.920
 And he

00:33:55.920 --> 00:33:56.200
 said,

00:33:56.420 --> 00:33:56.800
 he was

00:33:56.800 --> 00:33:57.380
 saying these

00:33:57.380 --> 00:33:57.820
 things,

00:33:58.780 --> 00:33:59.360
 a cloud

00:33:59.360 --> 00:33:59.880
 came and

00:33:59.880 --> 00:34:00.600
 overshadowed

00:34:00.600 --> 00:34:00.840
 them,

00:34:01.980 --> 00:34:02.580
 and they

00:34:02.580 --> 00:34:03.259
 were afraid

00:34:03.259 --> 00:34:04.160
 as they

00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:04.759
 entered the

00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:05.140
 cloud.

00:34:05.820 --> 00:34:06.380
 And a

00:34:06.380 --> 00:34:07.020
 voice came

00:34:07.020 --> 00:34:07.520
 out of the

00:34:07.520 --> 00:34:07.860
 cloud,

00:34:08.019 --> 00:34:08.400
 saying,

00:34:09.160 --> 00:34:09.800
 this is

00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:10.619
 my son,

00:34:10.940 --> 00:34:11.700
 my chosen

00:34:11.700 --> 00:34:12.059
 one,

00:34:12.599 --> 00:34:13.220
 listen to

00:34:13.220 --> 00:34:13.519
 him.

00:34:14.660 --> 00:34:14.960
 And when

00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:15.420
 the voice

00:34:15.420 --> 00:34:16.000
 had spoken,

00:34:16.220 --> 00:34:17.380
 Jesus was

00:34:17.380 --> 00:34:18.280
 found alone,

00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:19.340
 and they

00:34:19.340 --> 00:34:20.140
 kept silent

00:34:20.140 --> 00:34:21.460
 and told no

00:34:21.460 --> 00:34:22.099
 one in those

00:34:22.099 --> 00:34:22.980
 days anything

00:34:22.980 --> 00:34:23.539
 of what

00:34:23.539 --> 00:34:23.840
 they had

00:34:23.840 --> 00:34:24.199
 seen.

00:34:26.539 --> 00:34:27.139
 Jesus'

00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:28.059
 face was

00:34:28.059 --> 00:34:28.500
 altered.

00:34:29.840 --> 00:34:30.179
 He was

00:34:30.179 --> 00:34:30.940
 illuminating

00:34:30.940 --> 00:34:32.039
 from within.

00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:35.039
 The

00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:36.480
 dazzling

00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:36.920
 white

00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:38.000
 phrase

00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:38.420
 that's used

00:34:38.420 --> 00:34:38.980
 there means

00:34:38.980 --> 00:34:39.719
 bright as a

00:34:39.719 --> 00:34:40.219
 flash of

00:34:40.219 --> 00:34:40.559
 lightning.

00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:43.960
 A glimpse

00:34:43.960 --> 00:34:44.320
 of the

00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:44.960
 glory of

00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:45.400
 Christ.

00:34:46.300 --> 00:34:46.659
 So this

00:34:46.659 --> 00:34:47.320
 isn't Moses

00:34:47.320 --> 00:34:48.000
 and Elijah

00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:48.820
 reincarnated,

00:34:48.920 --> 00:34:49.260
 this is

00:34:49.260 --> 00:34:49.800
 Moses and

00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:50.199
 Elijah

00:34:50.199 --> 00:34:50.920
 standing there

00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:51.440
 coming from

00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:51.920
 the presence

00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:52.980
 of God

00:34:52.980 --> 00:34:53.820
 to speak

00:34:53.820 --> 00:34:55.139
 with Christ.

00:34:56.619 --> 00:34:57.340
 And at

00:34:57.340 --> 00:34:57.800
 least in

00:34:57.800 --> 00:34:58.059
 the Old

00:34:58.059 --> 00:34:58.420
 Testament,

00:34:58.780 --> 00:34:59.059
 Moses

00:34:59.059 --> 00:34:59.659
 represents

00:34:59.659 --> 00:35:00.159
 the law,

00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:01.119
 Elijah

00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:01.720
 represents

00:35:01.720 --> 00:35:02.320
 the prophets,

00:35:03.200 --> 00:35:03.720
 how Jesus

00:35:03.720 --> 00:35:04.539
 is fulfilling

00:35:04.539 --> 00:35:05.200
 both of

00:35:05.200 --> 00:35:05.519
 those.

00:35:06.559 --> 00:35:06.760
 But do you

00:35:06.760 --> 00:35:07.260
 remember in

00:35:07.260 --> 00:35:08.099
 Exodus 34

00:35:08.099 --> 00:35:08.680
 when Moses

00:35:08.680 --> 00:35:09.260
 came down

00:35:09.260 --> 00:35:09.639
 off the

00:35:09.639 --> 00:35:10.059
 mountain and

00:35:10.059 --> 00:35:10.639
 his face

00:35:10.639 --> 00:35:12.260
 was radiant

00:35:12.260 --> 00:35:12.820
 because he

00:35:12.820 --> 00:35:14.119
 had been

00:35:14.119 --> 00:35:14.800
 deep in

00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:15.480
 the presence

00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:16.039
 of God?

00:35:17.039 --> 00:35:17.880
 He was

00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:18.820
 reflecting

00:35:18.820 --> 00:35:20.200
 the presence

00:35:20.200 --> 00:35:20.700
 of God

00:35:20.700 --> 00:35:22.220
 but Jesus

00:35:22.220 --> 00:35:23.660
 was radiating

00:35:23.660 --> 00:35:23.840
 it.

00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:24.039
 It was

00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:24.580
 coming out

00:35:24.580 --> 00:35:24.920
 of him

00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:25.200
 like it

00:35:25.200 --> 00:35:25.640
 was within

00:35:25.640 --> 00:35:26.000
 him not

00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:26.380
 without.

00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:28.100
 Jesus is

00:35:28.100 --> 00:35:28.880
 superior in

00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:29.440
 this person

00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:29.960
 because he

00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:30.740
 radiates the

00:35:30.740 --> 00:35:31.340
 glory of

00:35:31.340 --> 00:35:32.460
 God from

00:35:32.460 --> 00:35:33.180
 the inside

00:35:33.180 --> 00:35:34.580
 because he

00:35:34.580 --> 00:35:35.140
 is God.

00:35:36.300 --> 00:35:36.900
 But he

00:35:36.900 --> 00:35:37.260
 honored

00:35:37.260 --> 00:35:37.720
 Moses.

00:35:37.900 --> 00:35:38.320
 Moses got

00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:38.920
 to stand

00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:39.340
 there and

00:35:39.340 --> 00:35:39.820
 speak with

00:35:39.820 --> 00:35:40.019
 him.

00:35:41.780 --> 00:35:42.680
 How humbly

00:35:42.680 --> 00:35:43.059
 that must

00:35:43.059 --> 00:35:43.460
 have been.

00:35:45.160 --> 00:35:45.580
 What a

00:35:45.580 --> 00:35:45.860
 sight.

00:35:45.860 --> 00:35:47.880
 in

00:35:47.880 --> 00:35:48.519
 conclusion

00:35:48.519 --> 00:35:50.079
 go back

00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:50.660
 to Hebrews

00:35:50.660 --> 00:35:53.400
 verse 6

00:35:53.400 --> 00:35:55.160
 chapter 3

00:35:55.160 --> 00:35:57.220
 what is

00:35:57.220 --> 00:35:57.640
 some of

00:35:57.640 --> 00:35:58.000
 the meaning

00:35:58.000 --> 00:35:58.640
 for us

00:35:58.640 --> 00:36:01.960
 because the

00:36:01.960 --> 00:36:02.700
 writer wants

00:36:02.700 --> 00:36:03.079
 us to

00:36:03.079 --> 00:36:03.579
 immediately

00:36:03.579 --> 00:36:04.440
 apply this

00:36:04.440 --> 00:36:05.519
 to where

00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:06.039
 we are

00:36:06.039 --> 00:36:06.599
 in our

00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:07.180
 relationship

00:36:07.180 --> 00:36:07.880
 with Christ.

00:36:09.660 --> 00:36:10.480
 It says

00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:11.140
 and we

00:36:11.140 --> 00:36:11.880
 are his

00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:12.380
 house

00:36:12.380 --> 00:36:14.120
 if indeed

00:36:14.120 --> 00:36:14.620
 we hold

00:36:14.620 --> 00:36:15.280
 fast our

00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:15.820
 confidence

00:36:15.820 --> 00:36:16.320
 and our

00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:16.800
 boasting

00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:17.440
 and our

00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:17.760
 hope.

00:36:19.700 --> 00:36:20.580
 That means

00:36:20.580 --> 00:36:21.400
 this morning

00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:22.640
 not just

00:36:22.640 --> 00:36:23.280
 in Moses'

00:36:23.500 --> 00:36:24.040
 day but

00:36:24.040 --> 00:36:24.760
 this morning

00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:26.260
 Christ is

00:36:26.260 --> 00:36:27.340
 our creator

00:36:27.340 --> 00:36:28.100
 our maker

00:36:28.100 --> 00:36:29.519
 our provider

00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:30.860
 remember all

00:36:30.860 --> 00:36:31.240
 the things

00:36:31.240 --> 00:36:31.500
 that the

00:36:31.500 --> 00:36:32.040
 son does

00:36:32.040 --> 00:36:32.300
 in the

00:36:32.300 --> 00:36:32.640
 house

00:36:32.640 --> 00:36:33.200
 he rules

00:36:33.200 --> 00:36:33.600
 over the

00:36:33.600 --> 00:36:33.980
 house

00:36:33.980 --> 00:36:34.960
 he gives

00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:35.440
 us what

00:36:35.440 --> 00:36:36.060
 we need

00:36:36.060 --> 00:36:37.300
 and Moses

00:36:37.300 --> 00:36:37.980
 is a fellow

00:36:37.980 --> 00:36:38.480
 servant

00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:39.380
 along with

00:36:39.380 --> 00:36:39.940
 us even

00:36:39.940 --> 00:36:40.280
 though he

00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:40.720
 was singled

00:36:40.720 --> 00:36:41.420
 out to be

00:36:41.420 --> 00:36:42.140
 the greatest

00:36:42.140 --> 00:36:43.400
 of servants

00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:45.180
 we are

00:36:45.180 --> 00:36:45.760
 his house

00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:46.059
 we are

00:36:46.059 --> 00:36:46.599
 his people

00:36:46.599 --> 00:36:46.940
 we are

00:36:46.940 --> 00:36:47.599
 partakers

00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:48.360
 of the

00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:48.760
 divine

00:36:48.760 --> 00:36:49.180
 nature

00:36:49.180 --> 00:36:49.519
 and a

00:36:49.519 --> 00:36:49.800
 heavenly

00:36:49.800 --> 00:36:50.360
 calling

00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:52.200
 if we

00:36:52.200 --> 00:36:52.880
 hold fast

00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:53.660
 our

00:36:53.660 --> 00:36:54.240
 confidence

00:36:54.240 --> 00:36:55.720
 and boast

00:36:55.720 --> 00:36:56.519
 until the

00:36:56.519 --> 00:36:56.880
 end.

00:36:58.079 --> 00:36:58.960
 So we

00:36:58.960 --> 00:36:59.639
 need to

00:36:59.639 --> 00:37:00.119
 understand

00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:00.440
 that there

00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:00.700
 are

00:37:00.700 --> 00:37:01.460
 descriptions

00:37:01.460 --> 00:37:02.000
 like this

00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:02.260
 in the

00:37:02.260 --> 00:37:02.480
 Bible

00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:02.980
 that call

00:37:02.980 --> 00:37:03.400
 believers

00:37:03.400 --> 00:37:03.639
 to

00:37:03.639 --> 00:37:04.240
 persevere

00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:05.479
 if you

00:37:05.479 --> 00:37:06.000
 remain

00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:07.319
 if you

00:37:07.319 --> 00:37:07.779
 stay in

00:37:07.779 --> 00:37:07.919
 the

00:37:07.919 --> 00:37:08.259
 faith

00:37:08.259 --> 00:37:11.359
 if you

00:37:11.359 --> 00:37:11.979
 remain

00:37:11.979 --> 00:37:13.019
 steadfast

00:37:13.019 --> 00:37:14.559
 you have

00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:15.159
 reason for

00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:15.439
 great

00:37:15.439 --> 00:37:15.899
 confidence

00:37:15.899 --> 00:37:17.399
 because God

00:37:17.399 --> 00:37:18.479
 is at

00:37:18.479 --> 00:37:18.899
 work

00:37:18.899 --> 00:37:20.119
 within you

00:37:20.119 --> 00:37:21.819
 and we

00:37:21.819 --> 00:37:22.599
 can have

00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:23.599
 that great

00:37:23.599 --> 00:37:24.239
 trust and

00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:24.599
 confidence

00:37:24.599 --> 00:37:25.379
 because Jesus

00:37:25.379 --> 00:37:27.159
 is superior

00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:28.459
 to Moses

00:37:28.459 --> 00:37:28.899
 he is the

00:37:28.899 --> 00:37:29.239
 one that

00:37:29.239 --> 00:37:29.399
 we are

00:37:29.399 --> 00:37:30.259
 hanging all

00:37:30.259 --> 00:37:30.659
 our hope

00:37:30.659 --> 00:37:30.899
 on

00:37:30.900 --> 00:37:32.519
 this life

00:37:32.519 --> 00:37:33.019
 and

00:37:33.019 --> 00:37:33.980
 eternal

00:37:33.980 --> 00:37:34.380
 life

00:37:34.380 --> 00:37:34.940
 afterwards

00:37:34.940 --> 00:37:35.740
 all rest

00:37:35.740 --> 00:37:36.380
 on Jesus

00:37:36.380 --> 00:37:37.480
 so we

00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:38.099
 have to

00:37:38.099 --> 00:37:39.019
 consider him

00:37:39.019 --> 00:37:40.480
 as great

00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:40.920
 as Moses

00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:41.420
 was

00:37:41.420 --> 00:37:41.820
 he was

00:37:41.820 --> 00:37:42.240
 far

00:37:42.240 --> 00:37:42.599
 greater

00:37:42.599 --> 00:37:43.200
 so there's

00:37:43.200 --> 00:37:43.619
 a call

00:37:43.619 --> 00:37:43.900
 here

00:37:43.900 --> 00:37:44.780
 to persevere

00:37:44.780 --> 00:37:45.800
 to hang

00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:46.139
 on

00:37:46.139 --> 00:37:46.900
 to keep

00:37:46.900 --> 00:37:47.519
 the confidence

00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:47.960
 that you

00:37:47.960 --> 00:37:48.380
 have

00:37:48.380 --> 00:37:49.820
 as a

00:37:49.820 --> 00:37:50.460
 follower

00:37:50.460 --> 00:37:50.980
 of Jesus

00:37:50.980 --> 00:37:52.619
 so

00:37:52.619 --> 00:37:53.539
 think about

00:37:53.539 --> 00:37:53.840
 where your

00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:54.320
 hope is

00:37:54.320 --> 00:37:54.639
 think about

00:37:54.639 --> 00:37:54.880
 where your

00:37:54.880 --> 00:37:55.300
 confidence

00:37:55.300 --> 00:37:56.019
 is this

00:37:56.019 --> 00:37:56.380
 morning

00:37:56.380 --> 00:37:57.900
 and no

00:37:57.900 --> 00:37:58.059
 matter

00:37:58.059 --> 00:37:58.360
 where

00:37:58.360 --> 00:37:59.039
 to stop

00:37:59.039 --> 00:37:59.760
 and consider

00:37:59.760 --> 00:38:00.180
 Jesus

00:38:00.180 --> 00:38:00.579
 how

00:38:00.579 --> 00:38:01.440
 great

00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:01.900
 he was

00:38:01.900 --> 00:38:02.299
 he was

00:38:02.299 --> 00:38:03.400
 the builder

00:38:03.400 --> 00:38:03.940
 of the

00:38:03.940 --> 00:38:04.239
 house

00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:04.860
 he made

00:38:04.860 --> 00:38:05.279
 the house

00:38:05.279 --> 00:38:05.699
 he made

00:38:05.699 --> 00:38:06.119
 us

00:38:06.119 --> 00:38:07.719
 and he is

00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:08.340
 the son

00:38:08.340 --> 00:38:08.880
 of God

00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:09.219
 and not

00:38:09.219 --> 00:38:09.880
 just a

00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:10.139
 servant

00:38:10.139 --> 00:38:11.779
 so

00:38:11.779 --> 00:38:13.599
 that's our

00:38:13.599 --> 00:38:14.259
 text today

00:38:14.259 --> 00:38:16.579
 let's pray

00:38:16.579 --> 00:38:16.960
 together
