In this new series 'Jesus - Simply the best' we' will open the book of Hebrews to get a better understanding of who Jesus is, and why he is the very best foundation we can build our lives on. 

In Hebrews 4 the author concludes a commentary on Psalm 95, which was a warning to the people of God about disobeying his word, and failing to enter his rest. 
He recalls these events from their heritage because they are tempted to go back to the old way of life, to join their friends at the synagogue, to join in the rituals of the Jewish religion, rather than trust God’s free gift of grace. The book says don’t go back to the past, but look forward to the promise of God’s true rest by faith in Jesus. He calls them to make every effort to enter it, by trusting and obeying God’s  Word.

As we open the passage we’re going to look back to i) a warning from the past, anticipate ii) a promise for the future, and iii) how we live in the present, in light of this promise of rest.
