Hebrews 3:5-6

Hebrews 3:5-6. And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; but Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

We are the house in which he dwells with delight - in which he finds comfort and rest. We are the household over which he rules, and in which he is the delight of us all. Oh! may our church ever be such a house, so well ordered, that when the Lord cometh into it - nay, when he ever dwelleth in it - he may not be grieved in his own house. Whatever trouble a man has, he hopes to find solace at home. And so let the house of God be the house of Jesus - the place where there is peace, obedience, love, holiness.
