Hebrews 4:11 Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. 12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
One of the drawbacks of doing a brief devotional with short passages is the possibility of losing context. That could happen here, where we often forget these two great passages are from one and the same place. The writer continues his theme of "entering God's rest" which we talked about yesterday, then tells us how. It is by being in the Word of God and calling out to Him in Jesus name for His grace to enter into this rest that He has promised.
