Christ is more worthy than Moses;7. therefore if we believe not in him, we shall be more worthy punishment than hardhearted Israel. For we have come to share in Christ This phrase emphasizes the communal and participatory nature of the Christian faith. The Greek word for "share" is "metochoi," which implies partnership or fellowship. This suggests that believers are not merely followers of Christ but are actively participating in His life and mission. Historically, this reflects the early Christian understanding of being united with Christ in His death and resurrection, as seen in Romans 6:5. The idea of sharing in Christ also underscores the intimate relationship believers have with Him, akin to the vine and branches metaphor in John 15:5. if we hold firmly to the end the confidence we had at first (2) On the word ὑπόστασις (translated "confidence"), see what was said under Hebrews 1:3. All the ancient interpreters understood it here in the same general sense as in the former passage - that of substance or subsistence, either as denoting our subsistence as members of Christ, or our faith regarded as the substance of our Christian life, or with other modifications of the general meaning. Modern commentators agree in understanding merely the sense in which the word is found to be commonly used by the Alexandrian writers - that of confidence, derived from the physical conception of a firm foundation. It thus corresponds with the παῥῤησίαν of ver. 6. (3) "The beginning" (τὴν ἀρχὴν) of this confidence refers to the earlier stage of the experiences of the Hebrew Christians, before their faith had shown any signs of wavering. There is no sufficient ground for Ebrard's inference from this expression, that the Epistle was not addressed to the Hebrew Church at large, which was the oldest of all Churches, but to "a circle of catechumens and neophytes." The phrase does not imply that the "beginning" was recent. All it need mean is, "Go on as you began." Further, we find, in Hebrews 5:12, a distinct intimation that the Church addressed is one of old standing. (4) "Unto the end "may have an individual reference to the end of life, or (the Church being addressed as a community expecting the second advent) a general one to the close of the period of grace during which "it is called Today."
