Sabbath-rest
Christ’s peace we have now, but
His rest is promised for the future. The
rest described here, as akin to God’s rest after creation, is not an immature,
passive, giving up. It is something we
work towards, even strive for. We cannot
deserve this rest, nor achieve it by ourselves; it is God’s gift to us. But we can do our best to hear His voice, and
not to harden our hearts (v7), so that we may one day enter His rest.
