Daily Bible Reading, January 2023 - God’s Saving Word: Unity in Christ JesusBài mẫu

January 4 Introduction The author continues describing God’s promised rest and recounts that those “who first heard the Good News did not receive that rest because they did not believe” (verse 6). Verses 1-3 affirm that those who accept the Good News will receive God’s promised rest. Verse 3 concludes with the author quoting Psalm 95:11, which is also quoted again in verse 5. Scripture Reading Hebrews 4:1-13 Today’s Key Verse: Hebrews 4:13a There is nothing that can be hid from God; everything in all creation is exposed and lies open before his eyes. Reflect The Sabbath was the seventh day of the week and commemorated the day that God rested after finishing the work of creation (Genesis 2:2, 3). Sabbath means “rest” or “stop working,” and resting on the Sabbath became an important way for Jewish people to honor God (Exodus 20:8-11). What warning is given in verse 11? In what ways do you observe a day of rest? Pray Gracious and loving God, thank you for your promised rest. In faith, I accept the Good News of your love and salvation. Amen.
