Rest

Hebrews 3:2-3 - He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house. Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.


Hebrews 4:3,9-10 - Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, “So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’” And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world…There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his.

Deuteronomy 34:12 - For no one has ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.

Application:

· Just as entering physical rest in Canaan demanded faith in God’s promise, so salvation-rest is entered only by faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ
· God’s rest may still be entered by faith in His Son
· Until Jesus came, no one was superior to Moses.
