Thy Strong Word From Kfuo Radio

Rev. John Shank, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Edwardsville, IL joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study Hebrews 3. The author says, “Consider Jesus.” He does not use Jesus as a club, but gently points the Hebrews back to Christ by teaching. Teaching by comparing Jesus to Moses—clearly Jesus is better. Teaching by warning them concerning the danger of unbelief like the Israelites of old. He makes it very clear: The LORD is the builder and Moses was simply a steward. In the same way, we are simply stewards as ones called holy brothers and His house to hold on to Him for our confidence. Exhort one another “today” for today is the day of salvation and the alternative is not good. “Almighty God, we thank You for Moses, but we thank You more for the one who built Moses for the sake of nourishing, loving, and saving us today. Help us to always consider Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith. Lord have mercy. Amen”
