A Delightful Rest [Part II]
September 22, 2024 Preacher: Dr Gary Cass Series: Anchored In Christ | Called to Courageous Endurance
Topic: Sabbath Scripture: Hebrews 4:3–10
In A Delightful Rest Part II, we explore Hebrews 3 and 4 and the biblical concept of God’s rest, focusing on the importance of Christian Sabbath-keeping. Drawing from the Israelites’ journey to the Promised Land, we see how their temporary rest was a shadow of a greater, eternal rest that Christ offers. This teaching emphasizes that, through Jesus, believers can find rest for their souls, both in this life and eternally. We delve into the significance of Sabbath observance in the New Testament and discuss how the Christian Sabbath has been transformed through Christ’s resurrection on the first day of the week. Additionally, we address the question of how modern believers can enter into and observe God’s rest, pointing to biblical passages and early church practices that affirm the ongoing relevance of sabbath-keeping. Discover how resting in Christ gives us freedom from works-based righteousness and spiritual exhaustion, as we embrace God’s perfect rest in His Son.
