When you understand grace, you never give up.

Dr. Tony Evans says that's because God will change you even before he changes your circumstances

by giving you rest.

Rest is that sense of well-being of calm even in the midst of crisis.

This is the alternative broadcast featuring the timeless biblical teachings from the archives

of Dr. Tony Evans.

It's always easier to carry a burden when you're walking beside someone who truly understands.

Today Dr. Evans points out that no matter what you're facing, Jesus is uniquely qualified

to be that someone. Let's listen as he explains. The book of Hebrews was written to tired people.

Some of them had their property confiscated. Some of them had been put in jail. And there was an overall cultural rejection of them,

and they were tired. And so God allowed the author of the book of Hebrews to write this entire

book full of deep theology and deep biblical history to tired people.

And he has one simple message.

Never give up.

When you understand grace, you never give up.

Suicide is not an option when you understand grace.

Throwing in the towel and abandoning life is not an option when you understand grace because the message of grace in the book of Hebrews is don't you dare give up.

In this chapter, chapter four of the book of Hebrews, you're going to find a word repeated over and

over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over

that rest. It concludes with enter my rest. It concludes with enter my rest.

In verse four, it says, and God rested.

In verse five, it says, enter my rest.
