I fear there are some Christians who may be “sleeping on the job.” If so, this message will not provide any comfort for them. This is not the kind of “rest” we will be talking about in this lesson. It turned out that he had curled up under a piano and was getting his rest. On one particular Friday night, one of the members of our work crew wasn’t to be found, so we decided to search the building to find him. We cleaned the student union center from midnight Friday night to 8 a.m. When I was in college, I worked on the night maintenance crew. 10 For the one who enters God’s rest has also rested from his works, just as God did from his own works (Hebrews 4:1-10).
9 Consequently a Sabbath rest remains for the people of God. 7 So God again ordains a certain day, “Today,” speaking through David after so long a time, as in the words quoted before, “ O, that today you would listen as he speaks! Do not harden your hearts.” 8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken afterward about another day. 4 For he has spoken somewhere about the seventh day in this way: “ And God rested on the seventh day from all his works,” 5 but to repeat the text cited earlier: “ They will never enter my rest!” 6 Therefore it remains for some to enter it, yet those to whom it was previously proclaimed did not enter because of disobedience. 3 For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, “ As I swore in my anger, ‘ They will never enter my rest!’” And yet God’s works were accomplished from the foundation of the world. But the message they heard did them no good, since they did not join in with those who heard it in faith. 2 For we had good news proclaimed to us just as they did.
1 Therefore we must be wary that, while the promise of entering his rest remains open, none of you may seem to have come short of it.
