“But Christ is faithful as the son over God’s house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory.”
Hebrews 3:6
Jesus was faithful to God to carry out everything that he was sent on earth to do by the one who sent him. Christ is faithful to us because God is faithful to us. God said he would send His son down to save us.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. -John 3:16
God is the master builder. Jesus is the contractor. We are the workers, building our house-His house.
As the workers we’ve been hand-picked to perform certain tasks that are necessarily in order for the proper house to be built. Just like the master builder trusts the contractor to hire the right people for the job, God trusts us with the tasks He has given us.
We can rest in His hope and faith because that is what He modeled for us.
Now it is our turn.
Daily challenge:
Focus on the small bricks you are laying, the everyday activities that don’t seem like much, but overtime can make a lasting impact. All of our effort and energy exerted for God is timely and appointed. What are some of the smaller bricks you are laying each day in order to build your house?
But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory.
Where does our confidence and hope come from?
He who is faithful will provide until the second coming of Jesus Christ

I like to listen to the radio. I usually rotate between a few stations that play Christian music, so hearing the same song more than once a day is inevitable. Occasionally, I turn on the radio and “Good Good Father” is playing for the seventh time. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Chris Tomlin, but sometimes I get tired of hearing it and will change the station hoping to hear a new song.
I’d cut through the back parking lot of a store when I noticed a woman picking food out of a trash dumpster. When she saw me looking at her, she came over and asked if I had any money I could spare so she could get something to eat. I told her that I didn’t have any cash on me but that I was willing to go into the nearby restaurant and buy her a meal. She said no. Sensing that she may not want to go in because of her appearance, I offered to bring a menu out and order a take away meal for her. “This place has a variety of good items to choose from, and it’s healthier than eating out of that dumpster”, I urged her. Again she refused. She went back to eating out of the dumpster.
