Ep 58 – Hebrews 11:13-16

In today's episode based on Hebrews 11, verses 13-16, we'll see that each of the Old Testaments saints to which the author has introduced us so far, all died in their faith. They died without having received what God had promised them. That sounds rather anticlimactic, doesn't it? Kind of a let-down, a disappointment, until you consider what the author is trying to teach us about faith. He mentions a better country, a heavenly one, that contains a city that God has prepared for them. It was that future promise on which they placed their hope. Not the immediate, temporal blessings of this life.
