Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 4:1-14

C. The Possibility of Rest for God’s People 4:1-14The writer returned again from exhortation to exposition. He now posed the alternatives of rest and peril that confronted the new people of God, Christians. It seems that this section ends with Hebrews 4:14 rather than 15 since 14 contains the end of an inclusio that begins in Hebrews 3:1. The writer warned his readers so they would not fail to enter into their rest."Since Moses was unable to lead the Israelites into Canaan, the writer reflects... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 4:3

A better translation of "we who have believed" would be "we who believe" (Gr. pisteusantes, aorist active participle). The writer was not looking back to initial faith that resulted in justification but to present faith that would result in entering into rest (inheritance). The quotation from Psalms 95:11 emphasizes the impossibility of entering without faith. The writer added that this was true even though God had planned rest for His people when He created the world. God’s purpose and... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 4:4-5

The writer evidently introduced the idea of God resting on the seventh day (cf. Hebrews 4:3) because it illustrates the fact that rest follows work. The work God called the Israelites in the wilderness to do was trusting and obeying Him. This would have resulted in rest from wandering in the wilderness, rest in the land, if they had carried this work out. The work He calls us to do is also continuing to trust and obey Him. If we do this we can look forward to receiving our full inheritance... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 4:1-13

The Supremacy of Christ. The OT. itself testifies to His supremacy as God's Son over its own chief personages: (a) first the angels, through whom the Jews believed that creation had been effected and the Law given (Heb 1:4 to Heb 2:18).He is also superior (b) to Moses, the founder of the national religion, yet only a servant, whereas He is a Son (Heb 3:1-6), He is superior (c) to Joshua. He has rest to give, which Christians are warned not to miss by unfaith-fukiess, as Israel missed the rest... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 4:1-16

Jesus Christ, Giver or the Promised Rest, and High Priest to being Men to God1-13. Israel through unbelief failed to enter into the promised rest. The rest, therefore, remains open and a promise of entrance is made to us. Let us not make the same mistake and fail to enter in because of unbelief. For by no possibility can the most secret unbelief escape the searching eye of the living God.1. Being left] God’s promise of rest cannot fail. Israel having failed to enter into it, the promise remains... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Hebrews 4:3

(3) For we which have believed.—The emphasis is two-fold, resting both on “believed” and on “we enter.” The former looks back to Hebrews 4:2, “by faith”—“for it is we who believed that enter.” . . . The latter looks forward to the remainder of the verse, the purport of which is that the rest exists, and that “entering into the rest” may still be spoken of.As I have sworn . . .—Rather (as above), as I sware in My wrath, They shall not enter into My rest, (See Hebrews 3:11.) If in the Scripture... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Hebrews 4:1-16

A Bible Reading Hebrews 4:0 etc. I want to conduct, so to say, a Bible reading, and to fix upon one or two special and pregnant words which invite us to the larger light, to the fuller opportunity, to the diviner joy. The writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews is an eloquent man; I do not know his name, I do not care to inquire into it, but he is a man of marked power of expression: he uses words uniquely, and with a personal accent, and he surrounds us with a radiant, most exhilarating... read more
