Hebrews Study Notes—Chapter 3New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
-
-
a son over God’s house: Jesus was far more than an attendant in God’s house, as Moses had been. (Nu 12:7; Heb 3:2, 3, 5) Jehovah appointed his Son to rule as King “over God’s house”—a newly formed spiritual nation, “the Israel of God,” made up of anointed Christians. (See study notes on Ga 6:16; Col 1:13.) So Jesus had far more glory than did Moses, whom the Jews of Paul’s day regarded as one of the greatest of God’s prophets.
our freeness of speech: Or “our boldness; our confidence.” As used in the Christian Greek Scriptures, the expression rendered “freeness of speech” can refer to speaking up boldly as well as to approaching Jehovah confidently in worship. The Hebrew Christians were surrounded by Jews who adhered to the Mosaic Law’s arrangements for approach to God. The Jews considered their way of worship far superior to the Christian way of worship. So these Christians needed boldness to preach the good news about Jesus as the true Messiah. (Compare study notes on Ac 4:13; 28:31.) They also needed to remain confident that through Jesus, they were free to approach Jehovah in worship and in prayer.—See study notes on Eph 3:12; Heb 4:16.
