I am reading in Philippians and Hebrews. Just flipped to Hebrews this morning and still wondering who wrote it, although people think it's Paul. Hey, why not? :) These are just a few musings from the end of chapter 3 to 4.
Entering into Rest:
1) People were not able to enter His rest because of their sinful, unbelieving and disobedient hearts that turned away from God (3:12, 4:6).
2) Even though people heard the message of God, they still were not able to enter His rest because they did not combine it with faith (4:2).
3) Entering His Sabbath-rest is to rest from his own wearisome and painful (AMP) work (4:10).
4) I think the first 2 points are different from the 3rd since the writer says in verse 9 "there remains, then, and Sabbath-rest for the people of God (4:9). Hm!
I love it, hidden treasures in the Word of God...or else slowing down enough to REALLY read it and soak it in. :) What a great morning. 4AM...
