rest

Hebrews 4:1-11

The Israelites wandering around in the desert did not enter God's rest (at first) because they didn't believe God could give them the land He had promised . "the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith." v2 (see Numbers 13 and 14). We have heard the invitation from God to enter into His eternal rest, do we believe what He is saying? Do we believe that He has got something for us which is better than anything the world can offer? Do we believe that we enter His rest not by working to please Him but by "resting" in Jesus' completed work on the cross? Hear the message and believe it!
