Some, must enter Hebrew 4: 1-11



The idea of rest is very appealing – TGIF2019 Americans 1.1 Trillion on vacations$1,979 per vacation 17- 20 days a year We value our rest so much that we will work hard looking forward to a weekend or vacationThe only issue is that, these vacations have an end date Folks, we can and I know we will continue to strive for that time that we can get a way, However, the Writer of Hebrews is talking about a promise of a rest like no other 







****READ THE VERSE ****Hebrew 4: 1 - Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still remains and is freely offered today, let us fear, in case any one of you may seem to come short of reaching it or think he has come too late.And it likens to the Israelites, having been enslave for 400 years and a moment comes when they are supposed to rest, but through disobedience they don’t enter that rest.Matthew 11:28-30 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am [a]gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.This is not just for now, but it’s a preparation for the future to comeThere is a promise to enter rest – That is a guarantee that some will enter, but also some will notThink about that walk up the airport and you have you ticket in hand, you board and off you go on vacation – but this time round its PermanentThe opposite of that is like, working so hard and when it’s the day of vacation, you walk up to the cruise line and your ticket is no good







The promise (good news)Vs 6: It remains that some must enter!This is a great reassurance, because we as a world don’t deserve it Ecclesiastes 7:20 For there is not a just man on earth who does good and does not sin.Roman 3:23 - for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of GodYet, there is a standing promise that, you and I have an opportunity by the blood of Jesus It’s a promiseJoshua 21:45 - Not one of the good promises which the Lord had made to the house of Israel failed; all came to passIn that good news, are some not so good news – In fact the worst news every- that only some will inherit that promiseSome must enter!! – When you look at your life ...Does that bring you joy or sorrow /Why?







Profit Vs. 2 For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.Hearing is an opportunity – But profit is when we mix it with faith Two people will hear the same Word of God, one will be in tears while the other will be playing with their coffee cup One is filtering the Word through Faith …while the other, its just words.Lots of people have ideas, I do as well, but action is required to bring those ideas to life Same concept here, you have to allow the Word to take root and have Faith  that it willWithout Faith we cannot please GodWhere is your faith anchor in? Reveal that to me Lord Ephesian 2:10 - For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.We have to work hard to attain what is set before us. Its freely given but we have to get up and get it 







Disobedience Vs 6:  Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience,There was great joy, when the Israelites left Egypt and great sorrow when they couldn’t make it to the promise landImagine the tragedy – Joy as they got ready only to bury everyone who had left Egypt except 2 peopleHe swore that they shall not enter The Israelites ...
