As we read from the book of Hebrews today we’ll see that Jesus is a better rest than the Sabbath and a better high priest. While the Sabbath regularly pointed God’s people to their need for rest and to their dependence on the Lord, the author of Hebrews says that a Sabbath rest remains for God’s people, namely Jesus Christ, for all those who are found him are able to rest from works of righteousness while depending on the Lord to provide for them both here and hereafter. Later, we’ll see that Jesus is a superior priest, for like Melchizedek his priesthood is not based on ancestral lineage. This idea will be developed further in later passages.
