Day 7

Scripture to Read: Hebrews 4:13-16

As we finish Hebrews 4, we find that nothing is hidden from the God of all creation. It’s a reminder that even when Adam and Eve tried to hide their sin and nakedness, God knew all along where they were and what they had done. God is Omniscient (All-Knowing), and to think we can hide anything from Him is foolish. “Therefore” is the word that starts Hebrews 4:14, reminding us that with everything God has taught us so far, we’re now going to see how magnificent our Lord Jesus Christ is as our Great High Priest. Christ passed through the heavens and sat down at the right hand of God the Father. Christ is our Advocate (1 John 2:1-2), the One who speaks and prays (Romans 8:34, Hebrews 7:25) on our behalf before God the Father. Christ sympathizes with our weaknesses because He was tempted, in every way, just like us, but He never sinned. He faced all the same temptations we face but overcame them all. That is why Christ is our perfect sacrifice and was able to satisfy the wrath of God the Father for all sin. Because of all that Christ has done for us, we CAN, through a relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ, come before God the Father’s throne of grace with confidence because our confidence is found through Christ in us. He meets our every need through His mercy and grace; all we need to do is receive this precious gift as we walk with Him.

Day 1

We see today that Hebrews 4:1 begins with the word “therefore,” so we know that we are considering all that God has shared with us so far in Hebrews 1, 2, and 3. We have to remember that Hebrews was written as a letter and that there were no chapters and verses when it was first written. So God is leading the writer of Hebrews to continue to ...

Day 2

As we continue to walk through God’s Word, we read in Hebrews 4:3 that God’s rest is for everyone who has believed in Him, who have put their complete trust in God the Father through Christ Jesus, our Lord. But we also see in Hebrews 4:3 that there are many who miss God’s rest, by choice, because they chose, and still choose today, not to bel...

Day 3

We continue to examine Hebrews 4, and today we focus on Hebrews 4:6-7. We find the word “therefore” again reminding us that everything we’ve read so far ties directly to what we’re about to read and learn. God uses the writer of Hebrews to give us more Good News. The Good News is that God has provided, through our Lord Jesus Christ, for all m...

Day 4

The perfect “rest” we find in our Lord God Almighty, through our Lord Jesus Christ, will not be fully complete, fully received until Christ returns for His church (His bride), or until we go home to be with our Lord. Every believer that has already been called home has entered that perfect “rest” in our King. The “rest” that Joshua mentioned ...

Day 5

As we focus on Hebrews 4:10-11, we continue to unpack what God’s “rest” is all about. All of us who have surrendered to Christ as Lord and Savior realize, or we should recognize, that we can “rest” from the weariness of trying to earn God’s favor through our good works. There are so many people today who think that their good works, that thei...

Day 6

As we read Hebrews 4:12, it seems like there is a shift in thought from what God had the writer of Hebrews writing. But that is not the case. God is making the point that with everything that has been written so far, that this information is not for mere intellectual knowledge, but that it is the Word of God and that it needs to be obeyed. Th...
