Faithful Jesus Hebrews 3:2

The writer of Hebrews asked his readers to “consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus”, as he gave reason after reason why Jesus could identify with and help people in their “trials”, and in chapter three and verse two of Hebrews we see how Jesus was “faithful to him that appointed him” where we read:

Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

The verse begins, “Who was faithful to him that appointed him,...” The writer began with the words, “Who was faithful” which means “Jesus being and coming to be trusty, worthy of trust and relied upon” “to him that appointed him” or “made, produced, constructed and fashioned by God”. Jesus was “worthy of trust and reliable” to God who “appointed him”.

The verse goes on to say, “...as also Moses was faithful in all his house.” The writer continued, “as also Moses” whose name means “drawing out” and was “the legislator of the Jewish people and in a certain sense the founder of the Jewish religion” “was faithful” or “trusty, worthy of trust and relied upon” “in all his house” which refers to “Moses' habitation, palace, tabernacle and dwelling place”. Even as Moses was “faithful” to his “appointment” by God, Jesus was “faithful” in His as well.

When we meditate upon these words in Hebrews, we understand the importance of being “faithful” to the “appointment” God has given us. Moses was “faithful” to his call, and Jesus who was the Creator of “all things” was also “faithful” to His. This is beneficial to us Jesus Christ is the “faithful” Savior and Lord of all who will believe in, rely upon, trust in and cling to Him. Let all who read these words know and understand the “faithfulness” of Jesus.

Next time we see the writer share how Jesus “was counted worthy of more glory than Moses”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.

Until tomorrow…there is more…
