Hebrews: Foundations for Faith Study 4: God’s Rest (Hebrews 4)

2. In what three senses does the writer use the word rest? (Note Hebrews 3:17–19 and 4:3–5; 4:1–3 and 6–10; 4:4.) See Leader’s Notes.

Rest from the time of slavery; rest from war with ones enemies; rest in a trusting and believing heart. (past, present and future) Philippians 4:5–7 (ESV)

5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
