God’s people are marked by their faith in what He says.3. There remains a Sabbath rest for us. - We rest from being slaves to sin. - We rest from our work to satisfy God’s commands. - We set aside a day a week to worship and fellowship. - We have an eternal “rest”. - a promise of an eternal “Promised Land”. Jesus Christ is our Sabbath Rest.4. The longsuffering mercy of God toward His people.
