Jesus and Faithfulness

Returning to Hebrews chapter 3, we find the author tackle the subject of faithfulness and the ministry of Christ. Christ was perfectly faithful to the mission on which His Father sent Him; He was, and is, perfectly faithful to the people of God. We certainly should not be surprised for Christ is perfectly faithful! Yet the call of the author of this letter is that his hearers would recognize their own call to faithfulness, lest they turn away from the living God and (as with the wilderness generation) die never having reached the land of promise.
