Hebrews 4:3-6 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest… Rev. T. Collins said to a man whom he visited, "Here, read this." "Round thee and beneath are spread the everlasting arms." "Whose arms?" "God's." "Where spread?" "Around my soul and underneath." "Why man, say you so? Sink down upon them, then, and rest." "I will try." " James, James! there you are again, trying instead of trusting. Suppose you placed your child in the cradle and said, ' Now, dear one, rest'; would you expect the little one to set itself shaking the cradle and to say, ' I am trying '? Would he rest so?" "No, sir, he must be still to rest." "And so must you, James. Tell God,' Thou art mine and I am Thine'; cast thyself on His fidelity; sink down upon Him, and on an arm firmer than rock, tenderer than a mother's thou shalt rest." (S. Coley.) Parallel Verses KJV: For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. |
