“The Book of Hebrews” (Part 4)
The past 3 weeks we have seen how JESUS IS GREATER than the angels and Moses (Heb. 1-3). Today we will learn how Jesus is greater than Joshua! Joshua was not able to lead the Israelites into God’s promised rest (Heb. 4:8). But God doesn’t slam the door on His promises (Heb. 4:6-7). He is ever faithful. The promise to enter into His rest and cease from our works just as He did from His is open to us today! (Heb. 4:10). When Jesus says He will give us rest when we come to Him, we can take that to the bank (Matt. 10:28). Jesus doesn’t lie. His promises are good. We are to make every effort to enter into the rest of our Lord (Heb. 4:11). For from that position we are happy, at peace, and fruitful. We are confident in the One who loves us and sits on a throne of grace! (Heb 4:16).
