Amen, glory to God. Welcome to the program. Welcome to cafe. It is a blessed day at the cafe. Amen

The sun is shining to birds. I don't know if they're chirping. I bet they are chirping out there

It's can't hear them, but I do love a good bird song in the morning

And it is a blessed morning as always by the way

I think every other bluegrass songs about the Whipper will which is a bird

So that's just a little extra for you, but I keep hearing Whipper will songs and I don't know if I can tell that that sound

But man, it's awesome to hear the birds up early

Coffee is pretty hot

You know, I'll do I'll make a latte in the morning. Of course my wife. I have to make one for her

I tell her I'm a master barista after all these years

I'll make it for her, but I'll make myself one and I'll kind of try to you know

I use oat milk. Okay, we're non-dairy over here, but I try to make like a

Little something in there whatever they call that little latte art and it's usually like a flower or you know

Kind of like a poor man's flower. I don't know like a stick

But you know, it's funny as I drink the coffee it really always like morphs into a heart, you know

And it's just so cool because I'll be drinking the coffee. I'll be recording episodes and I'll look in my mug

And there's just like a heart there. I'm just like man, you know, that's just God right there

I don't know how to describe it, but it's just awesome

You know the littlest things, you know, you just see God, you know, it's

It's awesome. I could go on and on. You know, we're talking about I was praying about a

Ministry thing and I was thinking of a specific verse and my daughter was reading her kids Bible this morning

And she said that exact verse, you know

That's just God, you know, there was a verse. I was working on and then

For a program or something and then that verse came on my phone as a daily verse like pretty much the same day or the day after

It's all man. It's just like all this stuff, you know, when you look around is again, especially related to love and God's word and

And just all those things you could just see him here there and everywhere and what a blessing

Whatever it may be

Open that file up. It's all by folder. It's very simple like Genesis 1 is in a folder Genesis 2 is in a folder

You 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

Think 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

How 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

he 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

And 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

Whose 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

Now 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

They 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

These 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

This 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

Don'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
