4:17You just open that folder and it's just numbered, you know like Genesis 1.1 1.2 1.3 just numbered each it So it makes it very approachable for somebody that may maybe save may not be saved Somebody that's gone a far off from the Lord somebody that loves the Lord you go ahead and give it to them See if it doesn't bless them. I believe it will not because of anything I've done but because of what God is doing here in the ministry and you can tell when you hear me talk about I get excited because I Probably had some kind of idea like this for some years and the Lord gave the green light Right around the new year to do this and I'm just so thankful he did All right, that is a long introduction. I apologize. I know I know I know but let's get right to this here We left off in Hebrews three comparing that with Exodus chapter three So we got two chapter three is one of the old testament one the new testament our focus verse here And the Lord said I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt and have heard their cry by reason of their Taskmasters for I know their sorrows. So we see in Exodus chapter three a relatable God

5:22Think about it. He is all knowledge. He has all wisdom. He has all power Like how can he relate to you? How can he relate to me? It's almost it's almost like impossible to imagine God himself being able to relate to man You the king of kings and Lord of lords being able to understand sinful man Yes, he made man, but still it's like he is God Almighty, you know, and sometimes I don't know how to describe it But you'll just see all the layers of things happening in the world and you'll think how could God even him being God Process all of that in real time and still look to you and say yeah, I understand you sprained your ankle yesterday And you're really bummed out because you can no longer play church volleyball, you know Like he could still like you know something that seems so trivial, you know, is actually really important to him You know there's been times the Lord has reminded me of like the simplest things You know, they'll be a game that I want to watch or something, you know, and I'll forget you know It's something I'll just come to mind right when it's starting and I'll be like God

6:22How how awesome are you that did even the smallest thing, you know That old saying the devil's in the details. No God is in the details. Oh, do you understand God is in the details We're gonna take a break and we're gonna look at this idea God being the details God feeling your pain. We come back from the break Stay tuned Well, it's break time around here. If you haven't already visit kjvcafay.com KJVcafay.com to learn more So in the last episode we finished off with this concept here in Hebrews 3. We were looking at our excuse me Hebrews 4 We're looking at This idea seeing that we oh no, no it was Hebrews 3. All right. We're not gonna. I'm not gonna edit that out I'm just checking to make sure you're listening. Okay. I'm checking on you. That's what I'm doing that. No, I'm just kidding Sometimes it gets confusing here. Okay So we have here this idea That Moses was faithful right and he was a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after okay? So Moses is faithful in that

7:23he was the Tool or vessel God used to deliver the Israelites out of bondage of Egypt He was so meek and humble that there was no question God was at work So another lesson is if you want to be used by God you have to be meek Which means strength under control doesn't mean you have to be weak, but you have to be meek like you have to be surrendered and The idea I've always heard it said best would be like breaking in a horse And I wish I really could give a lot of details about that process But I frankly don't know too much about it But I know that you have a horse especially a strong horse a wild horse that horse needs to be broken in, you know I know dogs, you know, I used to have dogs for years from almost 20 years You know to two runs that were left in a backyard In July, South Carolina heat and I adopted them Huge dogs chow German shepherds, and I called him Jack and Jill, you know big just monster dogs And they were in that heat and that blue tongue just sticking out that chow tongue

8:23And you had to establish the alpha, right? You had to break it in you had to say okay, no, you're not the boss I'm the boss, you know, and then at the time I had a little peeking. He's in the beginning He's a tiny little dog was like no, no, I'm the alpha, you know Oh, man, but and I couldn't we don't have a dog anymore right now because I couldn't break myself after those three They really they really got it on my system, I guess But you have to break in a horse you got to get that dog to understand who's the alpha when it comes to serving God You must be humble and meek, right? Moses was humble and meek. This is spoken of I've got himself when Aaron is brother and his sister Miriam's talking trash about him marrying that Ethiopian woman and God was wanted to wipe him out, you know, he was ready to especially Miriam is ready to kill her She got leprosy and Moses pleaded that she not die He was very meek, okay? Very lowly Moses veryly was faithful in all his houses a servant for a testimony of those things which were just spoken after Okay, but verse six here, but Christ is a son over his own house

9:25Whose house are we if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end? You see and so what we see here is Christ Okay, he is the builder of the house, right? He is the son of God. He also is God, right? And we as the body of Christ are part of his Heavenly house if you will and if we hold fast to the confidence and rejoicing of the hope Firm unto the end which is to say it's not that we can lose our salvation, right? It's that we believe enough to hold fast to it You know, there's a difference they'll you'll hear a story So-and-so was so trustworthy so-and-so seemed like they were so holy and then they turned out to be a child molester Okay, well, where is their salvation? How about this they were pretending they were never really saved How about this you can have an experience with a holy ghost and not be saved? I know people personally that have had experience with a holy ghost and God knows their heart I can't say if they're saved or not, but by their fruits you'll know them and they have zero fruit

10:27Now again, I'm I'm I'm in the camp that says We'll be surprised who is in heaven and who is not I'm in that camp, right? Like I believe that I see what God did with me I'm sure many people think I'd be splitting hell wide open and the Lord had saved me So I'm in the camp of believing the unconventional Also in the camp of the narrow road and few there be that find it so that heaven will be not crowded It'll be very few people in heaven. I believe that I believe God's serious when he says many people come to him saying Lord I did this and I did that and he'll say depart from me you worker of iniquity for I never knew you I'm in the camp of believing that a true believer is much more than easy Beliefism or just getting dunked in a in a baptism pool You know some kind of horse trough in the in the parking lot I have nothing against horse straws, you know We invested in one in a church many years ago For a baptismal pool, but that preacher made sure before that individual was baptized They absolutely understood why they were saved and what they believed in understood

11:27They were a sinner understood that Christ paid that Sndet on the cross at Calvary and that they're saved by his work and his blood And then it's just a public profession of faith to be baptized I love baptism. You get a true believer to go be baptized and watch I'll be crying like a baby. I mean, I absolutely love it But Baptism doesn't save Romans 10 9 through 10 tells us we're saved I'm believing in the heart and speaking it with the mouth We believe in the heart the deepest part of us. We speak it with the mouth So we see here that Christ is greater than Moses But in Hebrews the writer of Hebrews chapter 3 is trying to give us this parallel to help us to understand Okay, I want to help the Jews understand at that time because he's right into the Hebrews That Moses the character they adored there was one greater and that's Christ and Christ they Did not adore Christ. They thought was it enemy or or or or or or or crazy or whatever they thought of Christ Why that crucified and remember Paul was contemporary with Jesus around the same time, you know

12:28These people could have been involved in his actual crucifixion or could have come from the lineage of people that Acrucified Christ or certainly would have been very familiar that the Jews were involved in the crucifixion of Christ They then he's saying don't understand that there's one greater than Moses and that's that one Christ Which is by the way we mentioned the stoning of Stephen why Stephen was stoned Because he told them the truth and they hated him for telling them the truth But all of this brings it to here. He ruse for Okay, and it says seeing that we have such a great this is the verse 14 Seeing then that we have we have a great high priest that's passed into the heavens Jesus the son of God Let us hold fast our profession for we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our Affirmities but was in all points tempted like as we are yet without sin Let us therefore come boldly under the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need This would have been Really really revolutionary For the Jew they would have not been familiar with this idea of being able to approach God without the high priest there Without the tabernacle without the temple without the sacrifice

13:31This would have all been very challenging to them and in light of that the writer of Hebrews Paul is saying Whole fast because he has been through what you've been through he's felt what you've felt And maybe Paul was even thinking of Exodus 3 7 that the Lord said I heard their cry by reason of their Taskmasters for I know their sorrows God knows your pain and it's all the more reason in scripture and Old Testament and new to understand he is worthy Of our adoration and praise and our prayer And so hold fast if you're going through something hold fast hold fast to the Lord Jesus Christ Understand he knows exactly what you're going through And if you'll just believe he will deliver you Peter writes about this That you go through a time of turmoil and eventually he strengthens you he establishes you have your peace Hold fast don't Don't give up don't turn to the world

14:32Don't stop believing Trust the Lord Jesus Christ that he really is Faithful and that he really does know exactly what you're going through And through his perfect work He will make you into who he wants you to be as Romans 8 28 tells us He'll make you into what he wants you to be and you'll be blessed for it Thank you for listening to the next time take care God bless amen Thanks for listening to KJV cafe and we'll see you at the cafe tomorrow
