God Built All Things Hebrews 3:4

The writer of Hebrews asked his readers to “consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus” because God “was faithful to him that appointed him”. Jesus, God's Son,“was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has built the house has more honor than the house” and in chapter three and verse four of Hebrews we see how “he that built all things is God” where we read:

For every house is built by some man; but he that built all things is God.

The verse begins, “For every house is built by some man;” The writer began with the word “For” which means “as, because, even, indeed, no doubt, seeing then and therefore” “every house” or “each, any, all and the whole of the the inhabited palace, home, tabernacle or dwelling place” “is built” which means “the one who furnishes, equips, prepares and makes ready” “by some man” which refers to “a certain person or human being”. The writer desires for his readers to consider how the dwelling places of people have been “built” by someone.

The verse goes on to say, “but he that built all things is God.” The writer added the word, “But” which is a disassociation conjunction that means what is about to be written takes precedence over what was just stated “he that built” or “the one who furnishes, equips, prepares and makes ready” “all things” which refers to “each, every, any, the whole and everyone collectively” “is God” who is “the Godhead bodily and trinity which is comprised of God the Father, Christ the Son and the Holy Spirit”. God was the One who “created” or “made ready” everything that is made. In addition to “houses” that have been “built” by someone, the writer wants us to consider who “built” everything there is.

When we think through these words in Hebrews, we understand the greatness and superiority of Jesus over anyone who has “built” anything in this world. Though men and women “build” things such as houses, buildings or palaces, Jesus is the “creator” and “builder” of everything that exists. We should be excited to know such a one as Jesus, and when we consider that this “master builder” desires to have a relationship with us, our resounding answer should be “YES”!

Next time we see the writer share how God “in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.

Until tomorrow…there is more…
