TEXT: Hebrews 3:16-4:1-10(NKJV)
16. For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, [was it] not all who came out of Egypt, [led] by Moses?
17. Now with whom was He angry forty years? [Was it] not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?
18. And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey?
19. So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
20. Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it.
STUDY: The last day of the year naturally gives us a craving for taking stock of our life. And this definitely includes our walk with the Lord in the light of His word.
The people of Israel left Egypt and looked forward to reaching the promised rest in Canaan under the leadership of Joshua. But many of them failed to enter that rest because of their disobedience. But even those who “made it” to that rest discovered that it was only temporary.
But there is a “rest” promised to us, God’s faithful children. It is the final “rest” to which Jesus Christ would bring His faithful people. Their salvation (rest) will be perfected as they will be free from sin and sorrow for ever more. This is the Sabbath rest (1 Corinthians 2:9). Will you be there?
PRAYER: Grant Oh Lord, that I will partake of the blessings which you have prepared for those who love you, in Jesus’s name. Amen!
