Mark A. Copeland Finally, did you notice how “faith” and “obedience” were used interchangeably in these last two verses? These terms are not opposed to one another, for in fact Paul himself wrote about “obedience to the faith” (Ro 1:5; 16:26). Faith is dead unless there is obedience (Ja 2:17,26), and so those who truly believe will obey. That is why Jesus can be described as “the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him” (He 5:9). Have you obeyed Jesus by obeying His gospel? - cf. Ro 10:16; 2 Th 1:7-8; 1 Pe 4:17 Sermons From Hebrews 26
INTRODUCTION The Rest That Remains Hebrews 4:1-11 1. In chapter three of The Epistle To The Hebrews, we saw... a. A comparison of Christ to Moses b. How the comparison led to a warning based upon the example of Israel in the wilderness Mark A. Copeland 2. Appealing to the example of Israel’s fall in the wilderness is a natural one... a. For despite Moses’ leadership, most died in the wilderness and did not enter the promised land for lack of faith b. Now under Christ’s leadership, we face a similar danger of falling short of our “promise” through a lack of faith - cf. He 3:14-15; 4:1 3. Chapter four continues the warning with a focus on the promised “rest” which awaits the faithful Christian... a. This promised “rest” is actually one of several “rests” found in the Scriptures b. It is a “rest” that Moses and Joshua did not provide, which is just another reason why the Hebrew Christian should not forsake Jesus and return to Judaism c. It is “The Rest That Remains” for the people of God today! 4. In this lesson, we shall address two questions... a. What is “The Rest That Remains”? b. What essential elements are necessary to enter “The Rest That Remains”? [Let’s begin, then, with the first question...] I. WHAT IS “THE REST THAT REMAINS”? A. IT IS NOT IS THE “CANAAN” REST... 1. This “rest” is alluded to in Deu 3:20; 12:9-10; Josh 1:13-15 2. This “rest” was given as God promised - Josh 21:43-45 3. But in chapter four “His rest” (or “My rest”, “God’s rest”) is clearly delineated from that which Joshua provided - He 4:8 a. Long after Joshua died, the passage in Ps 95:7-8 was written b. The word “Today...”, indicates that the Spirit was warning the Israelites who had long before received the “Canaan” rest -- So Joshua provided the “Canaan” rest, but there is still “The Rest That Remains”! B. IT IS NOT THE “SABBATH” REST... 1. It is natural to think of the Sabbath day when one hears or reads the word “rest” a. When first introduced to the nation of Israel, it was spoken of as “the rest of the holy Sabbath unto the LORD” - Exo 16:23 b. This was the seventh day rest, patterned after God’s own rest following the creation - Gen 2:2 c. It was encoded into the Law given on tablets of stone - cf. Exo 20:8-11 Sermons From Hebrews 27
