Portraits of the Redeemer and the Redeemed

In our studies in Hebrews, we have arrived at chapter three: Christ as a mediator—better than Moses. Yet we can learn from Moses—the subject of our first “portrait” in this sermon. We also see how Christ is true heir of his own house in the second portrait—yet has no desire to possess his house alone. He’s pleased to bring us (the third portrait) in to share with him. Finally, let us rejoice that we can be “partakers of the heavenly calling” today: we don’t have to wait until we get to heaven to have heaven in us.
