The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Hebrews 4:11-13

Boldness in Faith in Our High Priest. The power of God's Word in the face of unbelief: v. 11. Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. v. 12. For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. v. 13. Neither is there any creature that is not... read more

The encouragement offered by our great High Priest: v. 14. Seeing, then, that we have a great High Priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. v. 15.

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Hebrews 4:11-16

Entered by Faith and Prayer Hebrews 4:11-16 There is no escape for disobedience and unbelief, because we have to do with the omniscience of God. The conception of Hebrews 4:12-13 is of a victim appointed for sacrifice and thrown upon its back, that the keen edge of the knife may do its work more readily. The divine scrutiny is still sharper. There is so much of the soul in what we do, that is, of our opinions and activities. God distinguishes between these and those promptings of His Spirit... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 4:1-16

The picture of the whole generation who perished in the wilderness is brought to mind, and the question is, What did they lack, and why did they perish? They did not lack the message of "good tidings." It was preached to them. They did not fail to hear the message. The reason was that "the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard." Where faith is lacking, the provisions of God are unavailing. Nevertheless, the purpose of God abides, and... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 4:15

CHRISTIANITY BETTER THAN JUDAISM‘For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities.’ Hebrews 4:15 From the first chapter to the last of this Epistle the author discourses on the glory of Christ. To set forth Christ’s glory he contrasts Him with prophets—angels—Moses—Aaron—and shows how in all things Christ has the pre-eminence. His great point is to show how the religion of Christ is better than the Jewish religion. Christ’s religion has a better hope... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 4:13

‘And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.’ And not only is all of man open to Him, but all men, and indeed all His creatures (including especially human creatures). They are all openly revealed in His sight. They cannot hide from Him. They are laid bare before Him, and they have to have dealings with Him because He is the Creator. There is nothing that is not open to Him. This mention of... read more
