As I continue this attempt (as the Lord wills) at blogging through the Book of Hebrews, we begin chapter four today and will go no further than the first verse. As the author begins to discuss the "rest" that is ours in Christ, he begins Hebrews 4:1 by stating, "Therefore, let us fear lest, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it".
Don't miss the great news here. A promise remains, for you and for I, of entering His rest. This is a promise made by the true Promise Keeper. The One of Whom it is said "there is no variation or shifting shadow". He is the One of Whom the apostle Paul wrote that He "was able also to perform" that which He had promised. I must ask the question. Have you entered His rest? Or do you find yourself amongst those who "have come short of it"?
Consider Jesus. His work is sufficient for you and I to rest in. Read and study His word. Pray. Fellowship with His people. I am convinced that His word will testify to this truth, as it is His desire and our privilege to rest, relying wholly in Him. God has proclaimed without question the sufficiency of the work of Christ. As we continue in this Book of Hebrews, we will see this truth repeated several times and in several different ways. There should be no mistake as to the completeness and sufficiency of His work. May we honor Him by resting in Him.
