Hebrews Ch 3 and 4 Harden Not Your Hearts (Our World Has A Cure, and His Name Is Jesus !

Hebrews Ch 3:  Jesus Superior to Moses:
Therefore, holy brothers who share a heavenly calling.
fix your eyes on Jesus, the apostle and high
priest whom we acknowledge in faith. who
was faithful to him who appointed him
Moses too, "was faithful in all God's house-
hold," but Jesus is more worthy of honor
than he, as the founder of a house is more
honorable than the house itself. Every
house is founded by someone, but God is
the founder of all. Moses was faithful
in all God's household as servant charged
with the task of witnessing to what would
be spoken; but Christ was faithful as the
Son placed over God's house. It is we who
are that house if we hold fast to our con-
fidence and the hope of which we boast.

Israel's Infidelity, a Warning:
Wherefore , as the Holy Spirit says:
Today, if you should hear his voice,
harden not your hearts as a revolt
in the day of testing in the desert,
When your fathers tested and tried me,
and saw my works 10 for forty years.
Because of this I was angered with that
generation.
and I said, "They have always been of erring ;meaning
angry and straying of heart.
and have never known my ways."
" Thus I swore in my anger,
"They shall never enter into
my rest."

Take care my brothers, lest any of you
have an evil and unfaithful spirit and fall
away from the living God. Encourage
one another daily while it is still "today"
so that no one grows hardened by the deceit
of sin. We have become partners of Christ
if only we maintain to the end that confidence
with which we began. When Scripture
says,
"Today, if you should hear his voice,
harden not your hearts as at the revolt."

Who were those  that revolted when they
heard that voice? Was it not all whom Moses
had let out of Egypt? With whom was
God angry for forty years? Was it not those
who had sinned, whose corpses fell in the
desert? To whom but to the disobedient
did he swear that they would not enter into
his rest? We see, moreover, that it was their
unbelief that kept them from entering.

Hebrews Ch: 4
Therefore, while the promise of entrance
into his rest still  holds, we ought to be fearful
of  disobeying lest any one of you be judged
to have lost his chance of entering. We
have indeed heard the good news, as they
did. But the word which they heard did not
profit them. for they did not receive it in
faith. It is we who have believed who
enter into that rest, just as God said;
"Thus I swore in my anger,
They shall never enter into my rest."

Yet God's work was finished when he created
the world. for in reference to the seventh 
day Scripture somewhere says, " And God
rested from all his work on the seventh day"
and again, in the place we have referred
to, God says, "They shall never enter into
my rest." Therefore, since it remains for
some to enter, and those to whom it was
first announced did not because of unbelief.
God once more set a day, "today." When
long afterward he spoke through David the
words we have quoted:
"Today, if you should hear his voice,
harden not your hearts."

Now if Joshua had led them into the
place of rest, God would not have spoken
afterward of another day. Therefore a
sabbath rest still remains for the people of
God. And he who enters into God's rest, 
rest from his own work as God did from his.
Let us strive to enter into that rest,
so that no one may fall, in imitation of the
example of Israel's unbelief.
Indeed, God's word is living and
effective, sharper than any two-edged sword.
It penetrates and divides soul and spirit.
joints, and marrow; it judges the reflections
and thoughts of the heart. Nothing is
concealed from him; all lies bare and exposed
to the eyes of him to whom we must render
an account.

Jesus, Compassionate High Priest:
Since, than, we have a great high priest
who has passed through the heavens, Jesus
the Son of God. let us hold fast to our
profession of Faith. For we do not have
a high priest who is unable to sympathize
with our weakness, but one who was tempted
in every way that we are, yet never sinned.
So let us confidently approach the throne
of grace to receive mercy and favor and
to find help in time of need.

Dear One's  Remember always to keep
the Sabbath Holy. It is the Lord's 3rd
commandment.  
If you are unable you may watch a 
program on T.V. or listen on your
radio. 
You can view Mass on EWTN  Television
station. 
If one has to work on Sundays, than
go to a service on Sat.vigil Mass
or a church service. It still holds honor
of the 3rd commandment of God.
Sabbath begins on Sat. evening through
Sun. evening. 

NOTE: When does the Sabbath start?
from creation through Bible times, the days
did not begin and end at midnight
as they do today.
Genesis Ch.1 : verse 5  says: 
"The evening and the morning were
the first day."  a day began when
the preceding day closed at Sunset,
the dark part of the day came first,
then the light part .
