THERE REMAINETH therefore A REST to the people of God. For he that is entered into His Rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us LABOUR therefore TO ENTER INTO THAT REST, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. Hebrews 4:9-11. The "Rest" spoken of here is Resting in Christ and all His Works for us. Here's an illustration that attempts to convey this concept. "The Lord says, I want you to go from where you are now at in town, go across town to this specific new location, and stay there until further instructions are given". There are 2 ways to do this. The first is you get a map, try to figure out how to get there, watching for detours and construction areas, places of power outages, and the undesirable areas of town, by doing your best and just go for it, ALL IN A TOWN YOU'VE NEVER BEEN TO BEFORE". Now here's the second Way. The Lord says, "I'm sending you A Taxi to get you to where you need to go. He Knows the Way and will get you there safely. Sit back and enjoy the Ride". That "Ride" is Christ. He will get you from unsaved Wretch to The Streets of Gold, He will give you EVERYTHING you need to be Presentable to God Almighty at the end of your Journey, and He will give you A Joy Unspeakable along with the Peace that Passes Understanding to Comfort you along your Journey. And your Ride has already been Fully Paid For, so sit back, do as Directed, and Enjoy The Ride". THIS, is Resting In Christ. There is nothing we can do to help the Driver, there is no information we can give Him so the He has a better understanding of us, and He certainly won't accept any kind of "Payment" for this Ride. SO QUIT TRYING, Rest, Obey, and Do, as instructed. IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS. Only His Way will get you there. ALL other ways WILL end up in death and destruction. They literally are, "the blind leading the blind and they will both fall into the ditch". So Enjoy The Ride, and, Be Blessed.
