Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Hebrews 4:9

Heavenly Rest A Sermon Delivered on Sabbath Morning, May 24, 1857, by the REV. C. H. Spurgeon at the Music Hall, Royal Surrey Gardens. "There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God." Hebrews 4:9 . THE Apostle proved, in the former part of this and the latter part of the preceding chapter, that there was a rest promised in Scripture called the rest of God. He proved that Israel did not attain that rest for God sware in his wrath, saying, "They shall not enter into my rest." He proved... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Hebrews 4:1-16

Chapter 4Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it ( Hebrews 4:1 ).As you look at your own heart tonight, is it at rest? Have you entered into the rest of God? Do you have that deep peace of Christ tonight filling your mind, your heart, and your life? Or is there anxiety, strife, turmoil, unrest? What is the condition of your heart tonight? Let us beware, let us be careful. God has given us the promise of rest.... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 4:1-16

Hebrews 4:1 . 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 caution is repeated from the preseding chapter, but the reading does not satisfy. The ancient Israelites really did come short of the promised land, and the caution is expressly against casting away the gospel, making shipwreck of faith, and of a good conscience. Δοκη is not videatur, “should seem,” but as in Montanus, who follows the Vulgate, ... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Hebrews 4:10

Hebrews 4:10He that is entered into His restEntrance into God’s restWe lose much of the meaning of this passage by our superficial habit of transferring it to a future state.The ground of the mistake is in the misinterpretation of the word “remaineth”; which is taken to point to the “rest,” after the sorrows of this life are all done with. Of course there is such a rest; but the truth taught here is that faith, and not death, is the gate to participation in Christ’s rest; that the rest remained... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Hebrews 4:10

10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Ver. 10. From his own works ] From the servile works of sin, Psalms 18:23 . These are our own works. As a lie is the devil’s own, John 8:44 , "When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own;" so when we do evil, we work de nostro et secundum hominem, 1 Corinthians 3:3 . It is as impossible for us naturally to do good as for a toad to spit cordials. read more
