Jesus, I Am Resting, Resting

“For we are entering into this rest, we who believed; just as He has said, 'As I swore in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest,' and yet His works came into being from the foundation of the world."

Hebrews 4:3

"For He has said somewhere concerning the seventh day in this manner: 'And God rested on the seventh day from all His works';"

Hebrews 4:4

"and again in this passage, 'They shall not enter into my rest.'"

Hebrews 4:5

verse 3: "For we are entering into this rest, we who believed; just as He has said, 'As I swore in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest,' and yet His works came into being from the foundation of the world."

The Bible Knowledge Commentary says: "This 'rest' was established as far back as creation itself."

Verse 4: "For He has said somewhere concerning the seventh day in this manner: 'And God rested on the seventh day from all His works';"

The sign on my computer desk says: "Don, Trust Me. I have everything under control. Signed, Jesus"

Verse 5: "and again in this passage, "They shall not enter into my rest."

Andrew Murray said: "We speak with Scripture of the 'rest of faith.' Faith, however, only gives rest because it rests in God. It rests because it allows God to do all. The rest is in God Himself. It is in His own divine rest into which we enter by faith." (source unknown)

Francois Fenelon said:

"Learn to cultivate peace. And you can do this by learning to turn a deaf ear to your own ambitious thoughts. Or haven't you yet learned that the strivings of the human mind not only impair the health of your body but also bring dryness to the soul. You can actually consume yourself by too much inner striving and to no purpose at all. Your peace and inner sweetness can be destroyed by a restless mind."

Let's bear witness to the world by singing "Nothing Between":

Nothing between my soul and the Savior,

Naught of this world's delusive dream;

I have renounced all sinful pleasure,

Jesus is mine; there's nothing between.

Refrain

Nothing between my soul and the Savior,

So that His blessed face may be seen;

Nothing preventing the least of His favor,

Keep the way clear!

Let nothing between.

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
