Take a Little Rest All that stuff in Numbers happened a really long
time ago. It doesn't mean anything for the Christians this book is
addressed to, right?Wrong. Anyone who's faithful can still get the
good stuff that God had promised to the Israelites. If they had
listened to him, they would have been able to stroll into the
Promised Land and "enter [God's] rest."What does that mean?We're
glad we asked. Basically, the author of Hebrews thinks the ancient
Israelites were unfaithful to God. They knew what he wanted them to
do, but they decided they'd rather be doing other things (like
sinning). That's why they couldn't make it into the Promised Land
to rest and relax.But even though the Jewish people settled in for
a little down time a long time ago, God's still offering the chance
for his people to "enter his rest" today. Huh?Well, remember back
in Genesis? On the seventh day "God rested" (Genesis 2:3). Well,
the author thinks that's the kind of rest that the faithful should
be aiming for.After God created the entire world, he entered into a
peaceful state of calm and relaxation. He wasn't shaping men out of
clay or gluing the wings on birds. He just was.And that's the kind
of rest that Christians should be looking for through Jesus, says
Hebrews. The ability to just sit and be with God.If you want to
make it to this restful place, it continues, you've got to keep the
faith.Remember, since Jesus became human, he knows how everyone
struggles with this whole sin thing. Sure, he didn't ever sin
himself, but he knows it's tough and he totally sympathizes.In
conclusion: if you're in need of grace and mercy, you know whose
throne you should be heading over to.
