12-6-15 Waiting for Rest
Psalm 3-4 1. Rest and Salvation, now and forever Rest is Christological (based on who Jesus is and what He has done) It's a dangerous lie to say that if we just work hard enough, we'll be able to reach the point of rest. Hebrews 3:7-4:10; Ephesians 2:8-9 2. Rest and Sanctification, now and forever Sanctification- make holy; separated from sin, dedicated to God Rest is a purposefully good gift from our loving and wise Creator and Father. “Sleep is a daily reminder from God that we are not God.” -John Piper “I have often thought that if the Devil can't make a man bad, he'll make him busy.” -Kenny Luck Hebrews 4:11-13; Ephesians 2:10 Response -Have you experienced the rest and peace that come from trusting in the Salvation provided by Jesus Christ? -Are you working and living each day from a foundation of rest in the God who created you for His glory, the good of others, and your joy? -What steps do you need to take this season to rest in Christ?
