Hebrews 4 Summary
Hebrews 4 calls believers into God’s rest and presents Jesus as the great high priest who sympathizes with our weakness.
There remains a ‘Sabbath-rest’ for God’s people, entered by faith; the living and active word of God exposes the heart.
Because our high priest Jesus was tempted as we are yet without sin, we can ‘approach God’s throne of grace with confidence’ for mercy and help.
