1 Peter 2 21-1 Peter 2 23
You were chosen to do good even if you suffer. That’s because Christ suffered for you. He left you an example that he expects you to follow.Scripture says,“ He didn’t commit any sin. No lies ever came out of his mouth.”( Isaiah 53:9)People shouted at him and made fun of him. But he didn’t do the same thing back to them. When he suffered, he didn’t say he would make them suffer. Instead, he trusted in the God who judges fairly.

Hebrews 4:3-11
Now we who have believed enjoy that rest. God said,“ When I was angry, I made a promise. I said,‘ They will never enjoy the rest I planned for them.’ ”( Psalm 95:11) Ever since God created the world, his works have been finished.Somewhere he spoke about the seventh day. He said,“ On the seventh day God rested from all his works.”( Genesis 2:2)In the part of Scripture I talked about earlier God spoke. He said,“ They will never enjoy the rest I planned for them.”( Psalm 95:11)It is still true that some people will enjoy this rest. But those who had the good news announced to them earlier didn’t go in. That’s because they didn’t obey.So God again chose a certain day. He named it Today. He did this when he spoke through David a long time later. Here is what was written in the Scripture already given.“ Listen to his voice today. If you hear it, don’t be stubborn.”( Psalm 95:7, 8)Suppose Joshua had given them rest. If he had, God would not have spoken later about another day.So there is still a Sabbath rest for God’s people.God rested from his work. Those who enjoy God’s rest also rest from their works.So let us make every effort to enjoy that rest. Then no one will die by disobeying as they did.

Why not also to the world?” The Judas who spoke those words was not Judas Iscariot.Jesus replied,“ Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them. We will come to them and make our home with them.Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. The words you hear me say are not my own. They belong to the Father who sent me.
