Jesus is Better, Listen and Rest

 . . . . . “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

Hebrews: 3 : 15

Hebrews: 3: 7-19

A Rest for the People of God

[7] Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, “Today, if you hear his voice,
[8] do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness,
[9] where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years.
[10] Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart; they have not known my ways.’
[11]  As I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter my rest.’”
[12] Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.
[13] But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
[14] For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end.
[15] As it is said, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
[16] For who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses?
[17] And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
[18] And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient?
[19] So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.
