so I swore in my anger, 'they shall never enter my Rest.'

And to whom did he swear that they would never enter his Rest? To whom but those who disobeyed?

Well then, as the promise of entrance into his Rest is still left to us, let us be afraid of anyone being judged to have missed it.

For we do enter the Rest by our faith: according to his word, As I swore in my anger, they shall never enter my Rest ??although his works were all over by the foundation of the world.

And again in this passage, they shall never enter my Rest.

Thus if Joshua had given them Rest, God would not speak later about another day.

There is a sabbath-Rest, then, reserved still for the People of God

(for once a man enters his rest, he rests from work just as God did).

Let us be eager then to enter that Rest, in case anyone falls into the same sort of disobedience.

see to it that no one misses the grace of God, that no root of bitterness grows up to be a trouble by contaminating all the rest of you;
