But Christ was faithful as the Son over the House of God, His Father. We are His house if we persevere boldly to bring glory to Him with our firm hope always to the end. (Hebrews 3:6)
Are there times you don’t feel like
celebrating God’s goodness? Have you experienced the place where the work you
have done and the processes you have initiated to follow Him seem to be
yielding nothing? Were you tempted to use your mind, and the proven ways of the
world to turn it around? You should never choose the world’s way.
The writer observes, “Jesus was faithful.”
He did what God wanted Him to do – period. Then he says, “If you are His house
(where He lives)” – in other words – “If Jesus really is your Lord and lives in
you,” then you will do the same thing. You will persevere boldly through
difficult times if Jesus lives in you. He includes strong adverbs for emphasis.
He says to persevere always, every day to the end. Be bold in speaking truth
even to those who don’t want to hear. Do the work because you have hope (believe)
in God’s power to accomplish His will and purposes in the world. Living this
way means you never stop celebrating God; never give up on Him and just do what
other people would do.
Persevere boldly, with great hope in the
Lord God alone, and do it firmly to the end when He completes His work in you.
