Heb. 4:10• 10For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. (Heb. 4:10)
• The first point insisted on, and most evidently, is the affliction of the soul. Atonement was not to be a matter of mere joy lest it should degenerate into lightness. Where is an act of God so searching. (“Leviticus 16:23-25, Concluding Remarks, Part 3” by W. Kelly)
• Do not conceive for a moment that there is any wish to cloud the joy of the believer; but our Lord instructs us that it is a bad sign when the first effect of the truth entering the soul is gladness. Deep self-search and humiliation are incomparably better proofs of a true work of God there. Compare Luke 8:13. (“Leviticus 16:23-25, Concluding Remarks, Part 3” by W. Kelly)
• Not only “ye shall afflict your souls,” put also “do no work at all.” Is not this injunction remarkable at such a time? It was not a question whether it was the usual sabbath or not. The Day of Atonement peremptorily excluded man's works in that connection. (“Leviticus 16:23-25, Concluding Remarks, Part 4” by W. Kelly)
• Look at the apostle Paul. There we have a man who afflicted his soul, and eschewed all merit on his part, though found blameless as to righteousness that is in law. His was a case of deeply wrought conversion; he was so, absorbed that he neither ate nor drank for three days and nights; so filled was he with the sense of utter sinfulness as well as with the truth of God's atonement in Christ. Blinded with excess of light, he had no room for another person or other works. Self was profoundly judged. He was completely shut up to Christ's glorious Person and the triumph of grace reigning through righteousness, which God had revealed to his once proud but now afflicted soul. (“Leviticus 16:23-25, Concluding Remarks, Part 4” by W. Kelly)
