Hebrews 4-5
The Letter to the Hebrews is an invitation to a joy-filled life through seeing Jesus as more valuable and beautiful than anything else in our lives. This week’s chapters, four and five, are no exception.
Hebrews four and five remind us that we are designed to rest and to know how to rest. Most of us struggle to find peace in life—physically, emotionally, financially, and spiritually—because we don’t know how to rest or how to leave margin for rest. So, we have become exhausted people, looking for some way out of our hectic, overscheduled lives. Hebrews reminds us that we don’t work for rest but from rest. We rest in God’s love, approval, and sacrifice for us, never for them.
