The house or the builder

After Hebrews 3:1-19 

What deserves the reputation,

the glory, the house or

the builder of the house?

Which is greater, deserving

our praise? We can admire

the house, but it is the builder

to whom, of whom, we

sing our praise.

 

Because the builder is

the greater, we put our faith

in him. Remind each other,

daily, encourage each other,

daily, not to fall away, not

to harden our hearts, not 

to be imprisoned within

the deceitfulness of sin,

the deceitfulness of our

own hearts. Hold firm,

to the end.
