Our rest in
the Lord is as complete as is our belief in Him. He who believes
fully rests fully; he who believes only partially rests
but partially. The ideal condition of the spiritual Israelite is
the attainment of a perfect rest, a perfect sabbath-keeping, in his
present experience, and a waiting and laboring for another and still
more complete rest—the actual rest of the perfected condition—the
rest that remains for the people of God. “Let us therefore labor to
enter into that rest [sabbath], lest any man fall after the same
example of unbelief [of fleshly Israel]” (Heb.
4:9-11). |
