(Rev Charles Franklin Facilitating)
Hebrews
Chapter 11
Chapter. This chapter is the heart of this
letter. Faith is the central most
important element in our walk and relationship with God.
Verses 1-3; To be sure of what we hope for and certain
of what we cannot see is Faith. Faith is sureness
and certainty. What we see came from what we cannot see. But we
understand that only by Faith.
Verses 4-38; Examples of Faith that
the Jews were very familiar with. Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Issac,
Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, (30) Rahab, Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah,
David, Samuel, the prophets, and more, all walked by Faith. Through Faith
they conquered kingdoms, administered justice, gained what was promised, shut
the mouths of lions, quenched the fury of flames, and escaped the edge of the
sword. While some were victorious, others refused freedom in order
to show their Faith that they may gain a better
resurrection. Many were chained in prisons, stoned, sawed in two, and put
to death by the sword. Many were persecuted, mistreated, hid out in sheep and
goatskins, while they wandered in deserts, mountains, and in caves and holes in
the ground. The world was not worthy of them.
Verse 39-40; They were commended by God for
their Faith. For they were committed to their belief in
God despite the fact they never received the promise in their
lifetime. But that was because God had something better for us so that
only together with us would they be made
perfect.
