The Importance of Assurance in Faith

Sabbath rest is not a reference to Jews or Christians observing a weekly Sabbath. The Jewish Sabbath was grounded in God's creation rest, and from the beginning anticipated the ultimate and final rest that was to come in Christ. In fact, Jesus himself seated right now on heaven's throne, as we saw in chapter one, has finished his work and entered into his rest. Verse 10 might be specifically about Jesus. Or perhaps Hebrews just words it carefully to be true of both him and us. But either way, verse 10 is surely true of Jesus at present and will be true in the future for those who persevere in faith till the end.
