SCRIPTURE: Hebrews 3:5 Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be said in the future. 6 But Christ is faithful as a son over God’s house. And we are his house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast.
OBSERVATION: Moses WAS faithful in leading the children of Israel out of Egypt and through the wilderness. “But Christ is faithful.” Christ was faithful as he lived a sinless life on earth and then died as the payment for our sins. But, He arose and “IS FAITHFUL over God’s house.”
What a truth is put forth so simply yet forcefully! ” … we are His house … ” That is not what we will be, but what we are! It is not a future possibility but a present reality! If we are in faith, we are His house! He is faithful in us and works faithfulness through us.
APPLICATION: In John 14:23 Jesus tells me that if I love him and obey him, He and His Father will come and live in me. In 1Corinthians 6:19 Paul tells me that my body IS the temple of the Holy Spirit. I do not have to wait until I get to heaven to enjoy His continual presence. Even if I do not feel His presence, I know He is with me!
I am His house. God lives in me!
PRAYER: Lord, we are your “house.” I am your “temple.” Thank you for your continued presence. May you be seen in my speech and actions. May your faithfulness be seen through me, and may my faithfulness bring joy to your heart. Amen
