There remains, therefore, a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His. (Hebrews 4:9-10 NAS)
After the Jews and many other day observers around the world misunderstood the real Sabbath for a day, the writer of Hebrews argues that there remains a Sabbath for real believers in God. That Sabbath is the divine rest that God gives to his believers, and that rest is a rest from the struggle of man to save himself, to trusting in the finished work of Christ Jesus Christ at the cross and in the resurrection. It is a rest from greed and the unending pursuit of materialism. It is a rest from competition and the fight for power. It is the Sabbath that puts to rest all identity-discriminating identities like religion, tribe, race and classism.
