The Promise of Rest
“Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.”
Hebrews 4:1 (KJV)
Commentary on Hebrews 4:1
The 'promise of entering his rest' remains valid, creating both opportunity and danger. The fear urged is not paralyzing dread but reverent caution. 'Come short' (Greek 'hystereo') means to fail to reach or be left behind. This rest is not merely Canaan but the ultimate sabbath rest in God's presence, foreshadowed by both creation rest and the Promised Land.
