Daily Bible Reading – April 2020 God’s Life-Giving Word Of Hope預覽
April 22
Introduction
The author continues describing God’s promised rest and recounts that those “who first heard the Good News did not receive that rest, because they did not believe” (verse 6). Verses 1-3 affirm that those who accept the Good News will be recipients of God’s promised rest. Verse 3 concludes with the author quoting from Psalm 95:11 which is also quoted again in verse 5.
Today’s Scripture: Hebrews 4:13a
There is nothing that can be hid from God; everything in all creation is exposed and lies open before his eyes.
Today’s Reading
Hebrews 4:1-13
Reflect
The Sabbath was the seventh day of the week and commemorates the day that God rested after finishing the work of creation (Genesis 2:2, 3). Sabbath means “rest” or “stop working” and resting on the Sabbath became an important way for Jewish people to honor God (Exodus 20:8-11). What warning is given for us today in verse 11? How do you envision God’s promised rest? In what ways do you observe a day of rest?
Pray
Gracious and loving God, thank you for your promised rest. In faith I accept the Good News of your love and salvation. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those observing a day of rest
Tomorrow’s Reading
Hebrews 4:14—5:10: Jesus is our great High Priest.
