Hebrews 4:1-11 Let Us Strive to Enter That Rest (March 13, 2022 PM, Rev. Michael Grasso)

In Hebrews 4:1-11 the author builds on the exhortation given in 3:7-19.  He shows that the oath forbidding some to enter God’s rest implies a promise for all of those who will hear the Word of God with faith.  Those who hear with faith will enter into the rest of God, which is the true fulfillment of the rest spoken of at creation in Genesis 2:2.  This Sabbath rest has been won for God’s people through Christ, who rested from his works as God did from his (4:10).
