引言:

有一位杂技演员，在很高很长的钢丝上来去自如；后来，他又在钢丝上骑自行车，并在车上带上重百斤的砂袋，车技高超，众人喝彩步止。
演员转向观众，问道：“我能带一个人过去，你们信不信？”
又是一阵欢呼，群众皆说“相信”。站在观众前排的一男青年喊得最响，表演者对他说：“好！就请你上来！”
“要我上来干什么？”青年问。
“坐在我的车上啊！”
“他说我不敢”•••
“有一位小女孩“说”我敢•••••

一、进入安息的应许 （V1-10）

“安息”神在六日创造完成以后，到第七日，神就歇了祂一切的工， 安息了 3-4节
“安息”原文意思是停止活动，表示休息
“安息”不是一般的安息，指神原先完成天地创造所进入的 “安息”神本身的安息。人因信得以有分于这安息，身体与灵魂得救赎，进入那永远真的安息。9-10
“安息”心灵上的安息。灵里随时与主心相契合相交，灵内相通，在祂里面得享安息。

二、进入安息的劝勉 （V11-13）

「竭力」快快地，赶紧，殷勤，形容暴力夺取
“竭力”信靠、仰望主。

三、进入安息的祭司 （V14-16）

耶稣超过一切执政的、掌权的、有能的、主治的，有名的；今世的，来世的都超过了。弗1：21
尊荣的大祭司―蒙神悦纳的地位 V14
神的儿子耶稣—生命合一的关系V16
神人和好中保—体恤人的软弱V15

总结：

我们的神非常渴望我们能与祂一同安息，神六日创造第七日安息了，上帝为以色列人预备迦南地为美好安息之地，但他们因着不信无法进入这安息之地。神期望今天的教会能在基督里真正的安息。经上说：我们大祭司并非不能体恤我们的软弱。他也曾凡事受过试探，与我们一样，只是他没有犯罪。我们只管坦然无惧地来到施恩的宝座前，为要得怜恤，蒙恩惠，作随时的帮助。

Hebrews 4: Enter the Lord's Rest
GK611 Morning Devotion

Speaker: Rev Moses Li + Rev David Tan

Introduction:

There is an acrobat, on a very high and long wire coming and going freely; later, he rode a bicycle on the wire, and in the bicycle with a hundred pounds of sandbags, with outstanding riding skills, the crowd applauded excitedly.
The actor turned to the audience and asked, "Do you believe that I can bring a person over?"
Another cheer, the crowd all said "believe". A young man standing in the front row of the audience shouted the loudest, and the performer said to him, "Good! Please come up!"
"What do you want me to come up here for?" The youth asked. "Sit on my bicycle!"
"He said I wouldn't dare"...
"There was a little girl" who said "I dare to -----

1. The Promise of Entering Rest (V1-10)

God “rested” on the seventh day after the completion of the six days of creation, and He rested from all His works verse 3-4.
The original word "rest" means to cease activity, to rest.
The word "rest" is not a general rest, but refers to the "rest" of God Himself, which God entered when He completed the creation of heaven and earth. By faith man is able to partake of this rest, to be saved in body and soul, and to enter into that eternal and true rest. 9-10
"Rest" spiritual rest. Spiritual communion with the Lord at all times, spiritual communion, and rest in Him.

2. The Exhortation to Enter Into Rest (V11-13)

To "exert oneself" quickly, hastily, diligently, to take by violence
"Strive" to trust and look upon the Lord.

3. The Priest Who Enters Into Rest (V14-16)

Far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. Eph 1:21
Honorable High Priest - God-pleasing status V14
Jesus, the Son of God - Unity of life V16
God's reconciliation - Compassion for the weakness of man V15

Conclusion:

Our God desires very much that we should rest with Him. God rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done, and God prepared a good resting place for Israel in the land of Canaan, but they could not enter this resting place because of their unbelief. God hopes for the church today to have true rest in Christ. It is written: Our high priest is not incapable of sympathizing with our weaknesses. He was tempted in all things, just as we are, but he did not sin. Let us come to the throne of grace without fear, in order to obtain mercy and favor, and to be a helper at all times.
