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 4:9

(9) There remaineth therefore.—Or, therefore there is (still) left: the word is the same as in Hebrews 4:6. It is tacitly assumed that no subsequent fulfilment has altered the relation of the promise. Few things in the Epistle are more striking than the constant presentation of the thought that Scripture language is permanent and at all times present. The implied promise, therefore, repeated whenever the “to-day” is heard, must have its fulfilment. The rescued people of Israel did indeed find a... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Hebrews 4:10

(10) Into his rest.—That is, into God’s rest.Hath ceased.—Rather, hath rested from his works as God did from His own (works). This verse is added to explain and justify the reference to a “sabbath” in Hebrews 4:9. Man’s sabbath-rest begins when he enters into God’s rest (Genesis 2:2); as that was the goal of the creative work, so to the people of God this rest is the goal of their life of “works.”As the whole argument is reviewed, the question may naturally be asked, To what extent is this wide... 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

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Hebrews 4:1-13

CHAPTER III.FUNDAMENTAL ONENESS OF THE DISPENSATIONS.Hebrews 3:1 - Hebrews 4:13 (R.V.)."Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High-priest of our confession, even Jesus; who was faithful to Him that appointed Him as also was Moses in all his house. For He hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he that built the house hath more honour than the house. For every house is builded by some one; but He that built all things is God.... read more

CHAPTER 4 1. What the rest of God is (Hebrews 4:1-11 ) 2. The power of the Word of God (Hebrews 4:12-13 ) Hebrews 4:1-11 “Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left of entering into His rest, any one of you might seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached as well as unto them, but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.” These words of exhortation belong properly to the preceding chapter. What is the rest of which... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Hebrews 4:10

4:10 {c} For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God [did] from his.(c) As God rested the seventh day, so must we rest from our works, that is, from those things that proceed from our corrupt nature. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 4:1-16

"Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into His rest, any of you should seem to come short of it." This admonition is a continuation of Ch. 3. The promise has been left us, but the promise is to faith: any who come short of it do so only through unbelief. Let us take solemnly to heart the significance of these lessons. "For unto us was the Gospel preached, as well as unto them." Indeed, to us it has been preached in fulness: to them only "in part:" we therefore... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Hebrews 4:1-16

COMPARED WITH MOSES AND JOSHUA The superiority of Christ to Moses is shown in chapter 3, the comparison in which case runs in two parallel lines of two members each: 1. Moses a servant over God’s house (Hebrews 3:5 ). 2. Christ a Son over His own house (Hebrews 3:6 ). That is an interesting phrase, “Whose house are we” (Hebrews 3:6 ), suggesting a plan for a sermon. In what sense are believers Christ’s house? He built them: “without him was not anything made that was made.” He bought them:... read more
