Context Readings

The Rest That Remains For The People Of God

5 On the other hand, we read in that passage-- ' They shall never enter upon my Rest.' 6 Since, then, there is still a promise that some shall enter upon this Rest, and since those who were first told the Good News did not enter upon it, because of their disbelief, 7 again God fixed a day. 'To-day,' he said, speaking after a long interval through the mouth of David, in the passage already quoted-- 'If to-day you hear God's voice harden not your hearts.'
