That Rest
What rest is he talking about?
When navigating from a map..need to ORIENT yourself...
Building off of Hebrews 3:7-11
Psalms 95
He already introduced reality that we can miss the offer because of our disobedience.
What we miss is His rest....What rest?
“although his works were finished from the foundation of the world.”
This is being built off of Psalm 95..
invitation to look deeper.
The truth of “that rest” we are offered is anchored in the sabbath rest we see during creation week.
THIS IS HUGE!!!
What do we know about what existed in Genesis 2?
It was good!
Perfect relationship with God.
Unhindered by sin and death.
By tying these two together the author is telling us...
God’s plans for a perfect relationship has not changed.
Thus Saith the Lord
This sounds great but where do you get this from?
Be like the Bereans...
“We want to believe you but let us look into it.”
What does “today” mean?
since (we established)
it remains for some to enter
those who didn’t believe didn’t enter
(then)
He (God) appoints a day as “Today”
Asking them to think about when Psalms 95 was written.
After the fall of man
after the flood
after Israel entered the promised land
God spoke through king David in Psalms 95 and about this offer of rest.
And He spoke in terms of “today”.
Two words every Christian should know...
Exegesis: What does the bible say.
Eisegesis: What do I want the bible to say.
The writers of scripture practices biblical exegesis.
“There remains a sabbath rest for the people of God...”
Where does the author get that?
From God’s holy word.
Selfies
Most of us have heard this passage in terms to holding up the authority of God’s word.
That is a true and appropriate understanding of it.
However the context shows us that:
The Bible is the final authority in our self evaluation.
“Living and Active”
Why is it so effective?
“Discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”
We are spiritual beings
God’s word cuts through all the physical
(that we show everybody else)
and gets to the spiritual.
It should be no surprise that the Devil continues to pull away from God’s word.
Neglect it.
Reject its divine source.
written by men
different “gospels”
Man interprets is wrong
God is a loving God not a mean judgmental God.
God’s word is the only correct source for judgment.
But God did not give it to us to condemn us.
He gave it to save us.
