Everybody loves rest. But sometimes it feels like nothing gets in the way of a restful Sunday like a worship service. We think of worship as a thing that we have to do in order to keep God from being angry at us, and so worship and rest seem diametrically opposed. Worship is work.

The author of Hebrews sees it another way. What if worship is isn’t about making sure that God is faithful to us, but that we remain faithful to Him? And what if it is only in Him that we find any rest at all?
