Yesterday and Today: A Warning Against Unbelief (Heb. 3:7-19)

[Sung Psalm: 95]

In light of the comparison between Moses and Jesus, it is fitting that Hebrews turns to Psalm 95 in reflecting upon Israel's rebellion, while wandering in the wilderness. He takes the wilderness rebellion of Israel and says, "Don't you make the same mistake they did."

God had just redeemed them from bondage and slavery in Egypt. He had just saved them. But just because you heard the message doesn't mean that you're going to enter the promised land.

You must believe the message. Hearing must be blended with faith. And faith must persevere until the end.

Israel in the wilderness was yesterday. Christ sitting at the right hand of the Father is today. Don't be defined by yesterday! Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts! Don't live in yesterday! Live in the today of the gospel.
