There Remaineth A Rest

There remaineth a rest to the people of God. -Hebrews 4:9

How different will be the state of the believer in Heaven from what it is here! Here He is born to toil and suffer weariness, but in the land of the immortal, fatigue is never known.  Ah! Christian, the hot day of weariness lasts not for ever; the sun is nearing it’s horizon; it shall rise again with a brighter day than thou hast ever seen upon a land where they serve God day and night, and yet rest from their labours.  Here, rest is but partial, there it is perfect.  Canst thou conceive it?  It is a rest eternal; a rest that “remaineth“.  Happy Day!  happy! when mortality shall be swallowed up in life, and the Eternal Sabbath shall begin.

-C.H. Spurgeon
