Daily Bible Reading, January 2023 - God’s Saving Word: Unity in Christ Jesusნიმუში

January 3

Introduction

The author explains that Jesus is greater than Moses. While Moses was a faithful servant and spoke to God’s people, Christ, God’s own Son, is in charge of God’s people. The chapter concludes with a warning about rebelling against God and a reminder to remain faithful in order to enter the place of rest.

Scripture Reading

Hebrews 3:1-19

Today’s Key Verse: Hebrews 3:6

Christ is faithful as the Son in charge of God’s house. We are his house if we keep up our courage and our confidence in what we hope for.

Reflect

The Israelite people who left Egypt were headed for Canaan, hoping to make their home in a land of plenty and peace. But the generation of Israelites that disobeyed God in the desert was not allowed to enter this place of rest. God has provided a place of rest in heaven for those who have faith in Christ and will live with God forever. How do you imagine this place of promised rest?

Pray

Lord Jesus, I am reminded of the many ways I find my rest in you. Thank you for your love and grace. Make me your faithful servant until I come to eternal rest. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
