Hebrews 4:9 There remains therefore a rest to the people of God. "Rest elsewhere," was the motto of Philip de Marnix, Lord Sainte-Aldegonde, one of the most efficient leaders in that great Netherlands revolt against despotism in the sixteenth century which supplied material for perhaps the most momentous chapter in the civil and religious history of the world. For a man such as he, living in such a time, no motto could well mean more. A friend of freedom and of truth, in that age, could never hope to find rest in this world. A good motto, also, is it for the Christian worker. When there is so much to be done, who would be inactive here? "Weary not in well doing." There is rest elsewhere. Retire not from your labour. Work on! There will be rest hereafter. Parallel Verses KJV: There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.WEB: There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God. |
