JESUS IS BETTER THEREFORE LET US…

HEBREWS 4

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

“Now in this section the emphasis is upon the rest which is ours if we trust Christ. Scripture presents a fivefold rest: (1) creation rest, (2) entrance into Canaan, (3) the rest of salvation -Mt. 11:29 (4) the rest of consecration- Mt. 11:29-30, and (5) heaven. Here the writer is talking about the rest of full trusting God, not only for salvation but also for daily living.” – J. Vernon McGee
