Sermon: The Rest We Long For
By: Pastor Ben Hulst
Series: The Book of Hebrews
Hebrews 4.1-11: How do we find rest? Not merely for the night, but true rest where the incompleteness of our labors doesn't haunt us. How do we get to the end and have the ability to be at peace with what our life has been? Can it come through our own works, our own accomplishments? No. Only through the completeness of Jesus and his work. Through his work of faithful obedience, we are gifted eternal rest. And by grace, our insufficient work is completed, reconciled, and transformed to eternal beauty. But it is all about him, not us. To his glory and not to our own.
