If in this present life we have a *hope* resting on Christ, and nothing more, we are more to be pitied than all the rest of the world.

and to requite with rest you who are suffering affliction now--rest with us at the re-appearing of the Lord Jesus from Heaven, attended by His mighty angels.

We who have believed are soon to be admitted to the true rest; as He has said, "As I swore in My anger, they shall not be admitted to My rest," although God's works had been going on ever since the creation of the world.

For He who has been admitted to His rest, has rested from His works as God did from His.
