Christian Rest Part 2- Hebrews

Humans understand the concept of rest. All biological life needs rest. God has provided opportunities for His children a place of rest. This, the Hebrew writer says was illustrated by the Hebrews who were led out of slavery where promised a place of rest. A land of "milk and honey", a place where they would be truly free and blessed. This promise was conditional. when the Mosaic Law was codified, they were given the promise of blessings and cruses. Blessings if they would obey and cruses if they disobeyed. In this book of Hebrews, the writer collates their failure to obtain the rest and our potential to repeat the same failure of obtaining God's rest. However, there is a greater rest promised that still awaits faithful Christians.
