 8For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.
 9There remaineth therefore a sabbatism for the people of God.

• He speaks of subjection to Him, and the effect is finding rest to our souls. When the sinner goes in his wretchedness to Jesus, the Savior gives him rest — "without money and without price" {Isa. 55:1}. But if that soul does not follow on in the ways of Christ, he becomes miserable, and loses the comfort he had at first. (“Remarks on Matthew 11” by W. Kelly)
