April 22

Introduction

The author continues describing God’s promised rest and recounts that those “who first heard the Good News did not receive that rest, because they did not believe” (verse 6). Verses 1-3 affirm that those who accept the Good News will be recipients of God’s promised rest. Verse 3 concludes with the author quoting from Psalm 95:11 which is also quoted again in verse 5.

Today’s Scripture: Hebrews 4:13a

There is nothing that can be hid from God; everything in all creation is exposed and lies open before his eyes.

Today’s Reading 

Hebrews 4:1-13

Reflect

The Sabbath was the seventh day of the week and commemorates the day that God rested after finishing the work of creation (Genesis 2:2, 3). Sabbath means “rest” or “stop working” and resting on the Sabbath became an important way for Jewish people to honor God (Exodus 20:8-11). What warning is given for us today in verse 11? How do you envision God’s promised rest? In what ways do you observe a day of rest?

Pray

Gracious and loving God, thank you for your promised rest. In faith I accept the Good News of your love and salvation. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those observing a day of rest

Tomorrow’s Reading

Hebrews 4:14—5:10: Jesus is our great High Priest.
