Paul’s discussion of God’s rest and how one might enter into it surely was a source of encouragement to the Hebrew Christians in Jerusalem, who had endured much persecution and ridicule for their faith.
Pauluse arutlus Jumala hingamise üle ja selle üle, kuidas saab sinna minna, julgustas kindlasti Jeruusalemma heebrea kristlasi, kes olid oma usu tõttu kogenud palju tagakiusamist ja pilkeid.
