Bible Commentary
Mark A. Copeland
2. There is, however, a “rest” (sabbatismos) that remains for the people of God... - He 4:1-11
a. Not the Sabbath rest, the weekly rest instituted for Israel through Moses
b. Not the Canaan rest, provided for Israel by Joshua
c. But the heavenly rest, provided by Christ which requires diligence to enter
“There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who has entered His rest
has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. Let us therefore be
diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of
disobedience.” - He 4:9-11
If we are serious about entering that rest, then let us not forsake our assembling together, such as that
done on the first day of the week (cf. Ac 20:7)...
“And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking
the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one
another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.” - He 10:24-25
