[Manna - May 18]
We which have believed do enter into rest. Hebrews 4:3
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].—Hebrews 4:9-11. Z.'99-253 R2534:5
