The Better Rest

Hebrews 4:1

"Let us therefore, fear lest, a promise being

 left us of entering into his rest, any of

 you should seem to come short of it" 

         But no, the promise is not fulfilled, because in Ps. 95:7-11 David hears God's voice saying to the people that if they do not harden their hearts they can enter into his rest. That is to say, hundreds of years after Joshua had led the people into the rest of the Promised Land God is still appealing to them to enter into his rest. There is more to this rest than merely entry into the Promised Land.
        So the final appeal comes. God still appeals to men not to harden their hearts but to enter into his rest. God's "today" still exists and the promise is still open; but "today" does not last for ever; life comes to an end; the promise can be missed; therefore,  "Here and now through faith enter into the very rest of God." For Today is the Day of Salvation!!
        Amen!
