Hebrews 3
“Rest” = ?• Cessation of movement or action.• Cessation of labor; a state of freedom from exertion. • Freedom from anxiety; freedom from mental or emotional anxiety. • Repose of sleep; refreshing to body marked by a reduction in metabolic activity.• Repose of death (death perceived as freedom from earthly toil).The “Rest” Being OfferedIt is possible that the faith of these Jewish believers will be tried because of the persecution they are experiencing at the time this epistle is written to them. Because of their present situation, they, too, might fall short of attaining all God wants them to attain in this life. The promise of rest is still available because it was never totally fulfilled. The promise of rest in the Old Testament was unfulfilled, but it was not withdrawn; it is available to those who want it now. The entire purpose of this letter to the Hebrews is to get the Jewish believers to enter the fullness of “rest.” The writer uses two different words for rest in this chapter. The one he uses the most is kata,pausij katapausis, which is used eight times in Chapters 3 and 4 (Heb 3:11, 18; 4:1, 3—twice, 5, 10, 11). Outside of the Book of Hebrews, this word is used only once in the entire New Testament (Acts 14:18). The word means “a cessation of activity.” It means rest in the sense of ceasing.
