THE MEANING OF REST
SCRIPTURE READING: HEBREWS 4:4-5

Verse 4 says, “For somewhere he has spoken….” Did the author not know his Old Testament well enough to know where to find the quotation? He did a similar thing in 2:6 when he says, “there is place where someone….” You can relax. The author did know his Old Testament. He is just using a literary device—an “indefinite allusion.”
Looking at Colossians 1:17, we see that God never stops working, or everything would fall apart.
