All throughout the Bible beginning in Genesis.
Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it.
2For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard
it. 3For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said:
“So I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest,’ ”
although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh
day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”;
5and again in this
place: “They shall not enter My rest.”
6Since therefore it remains that some
must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience,
7again He designates a certain day, saying in David, “Today,” after such a long time, as it has been said:
“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts.”
8For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day.
9There remains therefore a rest for the people of God.
10For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God
did from His.
11Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.
12For the word of God
is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things
are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we
must give account.
14Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast
our confession.
15For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all
points tempted as
we are, yet without sin.
16Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need
At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from
the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes.
26Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.
27All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and
the one to whom the Son wills to reveal
Him. 28Come to Me, all
you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30For My yoke
is easy and My burden is light.”
So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.
