Evening Devotional

Hear this evening's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]

03.02 Evening:
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest. There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.

Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: . . .they . . . rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

Our friend Lazarus sleepeth. . . . Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that He had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

We that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened.--Ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

Heb 4:9 Job 3:17,18 Re 14:13 Joh 11:11,13 2Co 5:4 Ro 8:23-25

03.02 Evening:

(Hebrews 4:9)There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

(Job 3:17,18)There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest. There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.

(Revelation 14:13)And I heard a voice from Heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

(John 11:11)These things said He: and after that He saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. . . . (John 11:13)Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that He had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

(II Corinthians 5:4)For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of Life.--(Romans 8:23-25)And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
