Leviticus 25

Here we are told, how God counts everything as looking on to the day of eternity, when He shall rest for ever. All the days are past of His working for man’s good, and of bearing with sinners, and the great day of judging and sending the unsaved to the lake of fire.

Nothing will alter God’s plan, and He would have His people live their lives and do all their business affairs and everything else, in view of the rest that remains. Hebrews 4:9⁹There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. (Hebrews 4:9) tells us of that rest for the people of God, yet God’s rest; and Revelation 21:1-5¹And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. ²And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. ³And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. ⁴And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. ⁵And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. (Revelation 21:1‑5) and first sentence of verse 6, brings us to it.

Have you a share in God’s rest? It is only by believing in Jesus, and what He has done for us who were rebels against God, that heaven’s door is opened to you. Come to Him, while mercy is still offered to you!
