Hebrews 3:1-6

1. Read Hebrews 3:1-6. Notice the phrase "holy brothers" in verse 1. What do you think it means to be holy? How are we made holy? What does it look like for you to live a holy life?
2. This passage uses the metaphor of a house. What does the house represent in this passage? Verse 3:1 instructs us to "consider Jesus," which may seem like something non-believers should do. It is. But Hebrews is written primarily to Christians. Read the warning in Hebrews 2:1-4. What connects Hebrews 2:1 and Hebrews 3:1?
3. Read Hebrews 3:5-6. What do you think the final sentence in verse 6 means?
4. Christians never outgrow their need to hear from God. Long ago, God spoke through Moses. Now God has spoken to us through His Son (Hebrews 1:2). What does it look like in your life to hear from God? Are there any changes you would like to make to better hear from God?
5. Put Hebrews 3:1 into practice. "Consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession." Contemplate who Jesus is and what He has done. Go to Him in prayer, giving Him praise and thanksgiving. Confess your needs. Confess your sin. Ask for strength to "hold fast to our confidence and hope" (Hebrews 3:6).
