Could anyone shed a little light on this for me. I was pondering Hebrews 4, and it seems to imply that there is a Sabbath for the church BECAUSE we have not yet entered that rest (consummately).
But that Got me thinking. Follow me on this, and then tell me what I'm missing -- it's a genuine inquiry (that is, I'm not just trying to stir some pot). The law reflects the thinking and character of God. Therefore, the law is eternal -- i.e., we'll obey the law in the final state. The ten commandments summarily comprehend that law. The 4th commandment requires honoring the Sabbath day. Therefore, the Sabbath day will be kept in heaven.
I'm confused. Am I reading Hebrews 4 wrong? My inference from Hebrews 4 would be that once we enter that rest, there is no longer a sabbath for the people of God.
I didn't search. This may have been done before. If so, just give me a link and I'll go there. Thanks.
Oh, also, I may not respond immediately. I've got a very busy schedule right now. Thanks again.
