1And we still have that promise God gave those people. That promise is that we can enter and have God’s rest.
2The way to be saved
3Only we people who believe are able to enter and have God’s rest. Like God said, “I was angry and made a promise: ‘Those people will never enter and have my rest.
4Some place {in the Scriptures
5And in that other Scripture God also said, “Those people will never enter and have my rest.
6It is still true that some people will enter and have God’s rest.
7So God planned another special day. It is called “today.” God spoke about that day through David a long time later. It is the same Scripture
8We know that Joshua
9This shows that the seventh-day rest
10God rested after he finished his work. So the person who enters and has God’s rest is the person who has finished his work like God did.
11So let us try as hard as we can to enter God’s rest. We must try hard so that none of us will be lost by following the example of those people who refused to obey God.
12God’s word
13Nothing in all the world can be hidden from God. He can clearly see all things. Everything is open before him. And to him we must explain the way we have lived.
Jesus Is the High Priest who Helps Us
14We have a great high priest
15Jesus, the high priest that we have, is able to understand our weaknesses. When Jesus lived on earth, he was tempted in every way. He was tempted in the same ways that we are tempted, but he never sinned.
16With Jesus as our high priest we can feel free to come before God’s throne where there is grace (forgiveness). There we receive mercy and kindness to help us when we need it.
