Arranged all beforehand, neither Isaac's partiality nor Jacob's deceit was able to divert the channel. [2.] For without faith it is impossible to please God ( Hebrews 11:6 ): So the witness of faith. And this is the more remarkable, because his language is essentially of the actual state of what was going on in the temple; but he always calls it the tabernacle. He was tried by temptations, by sin, by persecution, for retaining his integrity. One of the tragedies of life is the number of people who turn back just a little too soon. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God." Terah said: "That is impossible for they are made of wood and stone." . Are they both true of you? To some, it has always been the terrifying unknown giving rise to what Hamlet called "that dread of something after death.". O Lord our Lord how excellent is Thy name in all the earth. It is easy to argue: "Why should I refuse the pleasure of the moment for an uncertain future?" For whom it may be is another thing, of which he will speak by-and-by. He presses the fact of a new principle, as well as an institution established on better promises, upon the Jews. Hebrews chapter 11 New International Version 1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. So that means Abraham was probably one hundred and twenty-five by this time. It was God's commandment that once a day for six days and in silence the people should march round it, led by seven priests marching in front of the ark and bearing trumpets of rams' horn. She said to the spies whom she welcomed and hid: "I know that the Lord has given you the land. For the Lord your God, is he who is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath" ( Joshua 2:9-11). When we are discouraged, let us remember and take heart again. (6.) Would he give up Isaac? (7.) May your life be enriched in the fullness of that mercy and grace that he has extended towards us through Jesus our LORD. Isaiah refused and was condemned to be sawn asunder with a wooden saw. Jephthah was an illegitimate son; he was driven into a kind of exile and into the life of an outlaw; but when the Ammonites were putting Israel into fear, the forgotten outlaw was called back and won a tremendous victory, although his vow to God cost him the life of his daughter. 2. After the children of Israel entered the land of Canaan under the leadership of Joshua, he allowed each tribe to go to its own home. Moses in his day and generation shared in the sufferings of Christ, choosing the loyalty that led to suffering rather than the ease which led to earthly glory. If you believe in Christ at all, such is your portion nothing less. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for. That is the faith which gave you your religion. See also Hebrews 11:23-29 in other biblical comments: . He that possesses the one must not eschew the other. She was entranced by his beauty. Faith first influences our affections, then our actions; and faith works upon those affections that are suitable to the matter revealed. (2.) That is why, at least in one sense, it is dangerous to be a Christian. This is natural and pleasant to the flesh, no doubt; but it is precisely what opposes the whole object of God in Christianity, since Christ went on high till He come again, and therefore the path of faith to which the children of God are called. 11:5-6 It was by faith that Enoch was transferred from this to the other life so that he did not die but passed from men's sight, because God took him from one life to the other. When Moses was born, by faith his parents hid him. First, in God's counsels it was always before Him to have One more than man though a man to deal with this greatest of all transactions. The second is the story of the seven brothers ( 4Ma_8:1-29 ; 4Ma_9:1-32 ; 4Ma_10:1-21 ; 4Ma_11:1-27 ; 4Ma_12:1-19 ; 4Ma_13:1-27 ; 4Ma_14:1-20 ). These were the actings of their faith. It is to be noted that to dwell in a foreign land was a humiliating thing in ancient days; to the foreigner in any country a certain stigma attached. He will not have his people take up that rest any where short of the heavenly Canaan. They had never known so great and frequent and constant trial. "Just have enough faith and you'll never be sick. God's warning comes to us in many ways. These are the statements of men who believe in God, but not in a God who cares. That is the very purpose of our existence, to bring pleasure to God. He lived there in an ambulatory moving condition, living in a daily readiness for his removal: and thus should we all live in this world. 27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. My spirit moves out of this old tent into the new house, a building of God not made with hands that is eternal in the heavens. God bless you and give you a beautiful week. Euripides said: "Envy is the greatest of all diseases among men." Faith has a clear and a strong eye, and can see promised mercies at a great distance. The interesting thing to me is that when God inaugurated the sacrifices and all through Moses, there was the meal offering which was acceptable to God. Charles Frohman, who had known Barrie so well, went down with the Lusitania in that disaster of 7 May 1915. They never wearily gave up the journey; they lived in hope and died in expectation. Who ever in his senses built a great hulk of a ship on dry land far from the sea? It is an excellent thing for persons to be seriously religious when in the midst of worldly business and enjoyments, to despise the world when they are most capable of relishing and enjoying it. For there is nothing in this world commensurate to the love of God in being the God of his people; and, if God neither could nor would give his people anything better than this world affords, he would be ashamed to be called their God. Obey your leaders, and submit yourselves; for they watch for your souls, as those that shall give account." If it be some good thing, faith stirs up love and desire; if some evil thing, faith stirs up fear. 123.]. The writer to the Hebrews uses three vivid Greek words about them. At first it was (ver. The choice comes to every man either to listen to or to disregard the message of God. The sixth they broke upon the wheel "while a fire roasted him from beneath. So Abraham took the ram, and offered it on the altar. Of the faith of Isaac, Hebrews 11:20. 11:20-22 It was by faith that Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in the things concerning the future. It is not the case in the epistles of James and Peter, with which so far the epistle to the Hebrews agrees. For Moses to withdraw to Midian was not an act of fear; it was an act of courage. His birth was long beyond any natural possibility for birth, and so he was in a sense received from the dead, a miracle child to begin with. And for this simple reason: no place is given herein to man's importance. Faith brings God into everything. In Hebrews,. The first is, that in spirit the Christian is now brought by redemption, without spot or guilt, into the presence of God. This supposes the people of God not actually settled in the land, but still pilgrims and strangers on the earth; and the epistle to the Hebrews, we have already seen, looks emphatically and exclusively at the people of God as not yet passed out of the wilderness; never as brought into the land, though it might be on the verge; just entering, but not actually entered. I pray that I'll never be an embarrassment to God. What she did by her faith: She received the spies in peace, the men that Joshua had sent to spy out Jericho, ; Joshua 2:6-7. This is just the closing practical word of the epistle to the Hebrews. Reason is ever drawing conclusions; God is, and reveals what is. So Amram, shamed into trusting God, took back his wife; and in due time Moses was born. 2. Reference-Verse. But in Cain's heart there was still bitter envy. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise ( Hebrews 11:9 ): So here, when he came to the land and he stood on Bethel, the center of the land, good vantage point, God said, "Look to the north, the east, the south and the west as far as you can see, Abraham. Their acknowledgment of this their condition: they were not ashamed to own it; both their lips and their lives confessed their present condition. He knew that in Isaac his seed was to be called. Ga naar primaire content.nl. What was this "better thing"? The next instance of faith is that of the Israelites passing through the Red Sea under the conduct of Moses their leader, XIV. In my judgment it is correct to translate it both ways, never arbitrarily, but according to context. It was therefore necessary that the representations of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. He made them both heads of different tribes, as if they had been his own immediate sons. The faith of Moses himself (; Hebrews 11:24-25, &c.), here observe. If it be some good thing, faith stirs up love and desire; if some evil thing, faith stirs up fear. Buy Spurgeon Commentary: Hebrews by Charles Spurgeon, Elliot Ritzema Paperback / softback from Church House Bookshop - ISBN: 9781577996408 This epistle insists on the blood of Christ, making all to turn on that efficacious work for us. When Abraham was born a very vivid star appeared in the sky and seemed to obliterate the others. Her unbelief is pardoned and forgotten, but her faith prevailed and is recorded: 3. There is condemnation for the sinner; but there is still greater condemnation for the man who teaches another to sin. THE FAITH WHICH DEFIED THE FACTS ( Hebrews 11:30-31 ). V. In the midst of the story of Abraham, the apostle inserts an account of the faith of Sarah. He calls himself so: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; he gives them leave to call him so; and he gives them the spirit of adoption, to enable them to cry,Abba, Father. He does not actually mention these things. _Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. There is something of permanent greatness here. Upon his mind; it impressed his soul with a fear of God's judgment: he was. let us now prepare an ark, secure an interest in Christ, and in the ark of the covenant, and do it speedily, before the door be shut, for there is not salvation in any other. But the apostle takes all this difficulty by the horns, as good as telling them, that their having suffered all this was simply because it is the right road. That God will not suffer the injuries done to his people to remain unpunished, nor their sufferings unrewarded. What Abel did by faith: He offered up a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, a more full and perfect sacrifice, pleiona thysian. "He suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust," says another apostle, "that he might bring us" not to pardon, nor to peace, nor to heaven, but "to God." To the writer of the letter to the Hebrews Moses was pre-eminently the man of faith. But Abraham said, 'Son, do you remember that in your lifetime you had the good things, and Lazarus the evil? Hebrews 11:23-30. The rest of the chapter brings in, accordingly, the closing scene, when the Lord comes to shake everything, and establish that blessed day. All the saints are heirs of the same promise. The faith of the parents of Moses, which is cited from ; Exodus 2:3, &c. Here observe, 1. Abraham took a stick and smashed all the idols but one, in whose hands he set the stick he had used. But then comes far more definite instruction, and, beginning with Abraham, the details of faith. 1. i Apud Hottinger. "And whilst the saw cut into his flesh, Isaiah uttered no complaint and shed no tears; but he ceased not to commune with the Holy Spirit till the saw had cloven him to the middle of his body.". They from Italy salute you. But see what it cost to enable it to come! Christ accounts himself reproached in their reproaches; and, while he thus interests himself in their reproaches, they become riches, and greater riches than the treasures of the richest empire in the world; for Christ will reward them with a crown of glory that fades not away. The allusion in the last clause to the eternal inheritance (for everything is eternal in the Hebrews, standing in decided contrast with Jewish things which were but for a season) leads the Holy Spirit to take up the other meaning of the same word, which was and is rightly enough translated covenant. But He said, "I came to open the prison to those that were bound, setting the captive free." Religion began when men became aware of God; it ceases when they live a life in which for them God does not exist. There are also house () and people () of Israel, and Israel of God, and Israel according to the flesh. ", But now, returning from this striking instance of Paul's habit of going off at a word ( ), let us resume the regular course of the apostle's argument. It is not owing to our inherent righteousness or best performances that we are saved from the wrath of God, but to the blood of Christ and his imputed righteousness. The atonement was at least as real as our sin; and God Himself dealt with Christ as laying sin upon Him, and treating Him, the Great Substitute, as sin before Himself, that at one blow it might be all put away from before His face. "There is employed in that particular text what is known grammatically in the Hebrew as a polysyndeton. And as thus were shown the people immutably blessed (for salt shall not be wanting to that covenant) in the scene that will soon come, we finally hear of the earth itself joyful in the curse removed for ever. So should we all do. And for this cause he is mediator of the new covenant, that by means of death, for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, the called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance." For indeed He was a man as really as any other, though infinitely above man. After Joshua died, Josephs bones were reburied in Shechem: And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph (Joshua 24:32). , By faith Joseph, when dying, made mention of the departing. (2.) Shakespeare in one of his sonnets cried: "Tir'd with all these, for restful death I cry.". All they did was point to the future when God would provide the perfect sacrifice through His only begotten Son. After all, the telling fact was before them that, whoever wrote the epistle to the Hebrews, it was not a Christian who wrote the book of Genesis, but Moses; and Moses bears witness to the homage which Abram rendered to Melchisedec by the payment of tithes. As we read of these people of great faith, we see that they made their mark in history because of their faith. In the Old Testament the life of Enoch is summed up in one sentence: "And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him" ( Genesis 5:24). A paroikos ( G3941) was not very much above a slave in the social scale. It often happens that simply by being himself the Christian passes judgment on other people. That he walked with God, that is, that he was really, eminently, actively, progressively, and perseveringly religious in his conformity to God, communion with God, and complacency in God. The scripture would indicate that he's in his late twenties probably at this point. "You mean you're moving your whole family and you don't know where you are going?" So, one, Abel offered in faith and was accepted. "By faith Abel offered a more excellent sacrifice than Cain.". This should have been a rule to him all along, but he was rather swayed by natural affection, and by general custom, which gives the double portion of honour, affection, and advantage, to the first-born. The nature of it, and the honour it reflects upon all who live in the exercise of it, ver 1-3. But it may well be that the writer to the Hebrews is thinking not only of the story as it is in Genesis but also of the legends which gathered round it in Jewish folk-lore. When the fire, an emblem of God's justice, consumed the offering, it was a sign that the mercy of God accepted the offerer for the sake of the great sacrifice. There it was written, "Lo, I come to do thy will, O God." (2.) As the result of enduring the cross, having despised the shame, the word for sitting down here has a remarkably beautiful shade of meaning different from what is given in all the other occurrences. 2. The blessing was: "in them let my name be perpetuated, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth" ( Genesis 48:15-16). VIII. But as God said, "Through Isaac shall thy seed be called." A common thread ..of faith, confidence in the future, in things to come. This was a figure or parable of something further. A man writes complaining that he was despised "because I am a xenos ( G3581) ". But when Cain saw that his offering was rejected and Abel's was accepted, he was angry with the Lord for rejecting his offering. X. This is the meaning of the phrase, not that He will sit there throughout all eternity. They did not take the opportunity that offered itself for their return. Here is the great function of life. And is he better or safer that slights the sacrifice of the Son of God, and goes back either to earthly sacrifices or to lusts of flesh, giving a loose rein to sin, which is expressly what the Son of God shed His blood to put away? We have yet another instance of the faith of Moses, in keeping. He knew he would die in Egypt, but he instructed that his bones be buried in Canaan. It looks at only the first half of the list and ignores the second half of the list, but that isn't reality. He acted in faith, not policy. It is interesting how that a person living for their own pleasure is constantly pursuing pleasure, constantly trying to find something new, something different, some new sensation. But if not, his will be done." . Such has been the usual form in all countries not savage, and in all ages. 1. Who this Rahab was. He uses in the most skilful manner the change of the priest, in order to bring along with it a change of the law, the whole Levitical system passing away "but [there is] the bringing in of a better hope." And I have this to add to the account I have given of the sarcophagus now in the British Museum, vulgarly called Alexander's coffin, that it is more probably the coffin of Joseph himself; and, should the time ever arrive in which the hieroglyphics on it shall he interpreted, this conjecture may appear to have had its foundation in truth. The apostle, having given us a more general account of the grace of faith, now proceeds to set before us some illustrious examples of it in the Old-Testament times, and these may be divided into two classes:1. To Claudio the worst and bitterest of life was to be preferred to death. A true believer will despise them when they are offered upon such terms. This is interesting: God is not ashamed to be called their God. Learn here, (1.) The real presumption, therefore, is to pretend to be a Christian, and yet to doubt the primary fundamental truth of Christianity as to this. 22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. This proves that the city of the heavenly Jerusalem does not mean the church, because here they are certainly distinguished from each other, which therefore completely settles all the argument that is often founded on Abraham's looking for a heavenly city. Its petrol supply has reached such a level that there is nothing left but to go on. He said, "If your offering is rejected, it is because sin is at the door of your tent. Hebrews 11 teaches them the nature of faith through word (11:1) and story (11:2-40). There it was more particularly the activity of faith; here it is the suffering of faith. The consideration of this should inflame the affections, enlarge the desires, and excite the diligent endeavours, of the people of God after this city that he has prepared for them. This He has done, and done with. See on Hebrews 11:15. He made nothing of himself, because he knew they were God's people. (ii) The Christian hope is belief in the spirit against the senses. He amassed an army and invaded that country. The second part of the history of Joseph's death reads: "Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear, saying, 'God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.'. It was by faith that Jacob, when he was dying. How can such a consciousness as this be the portion of the Christian? there was on the throne of Syria a king called Antiochus Epiphanes. Had he been willing to forsake the Church of his fathers, any pulpit in the land was open to him and the most dazzling ecclesiastical prizes were his; but he sacrificed them all for the sake of what he considered to be loyalty to God's will. How did he please God? Had he merely referred to the covenant ( i.e. I cannot say that I believe with all of my heart without my life conforming to what I believe. To wait is even harder than to adventure. It is true that victims were sometimes slain in ratifying a covenant, and thus were the seal of that covenant; but, first, they were not essential; and, secondly and chiefly, , the covenanter or contracting party had in no case to die in order to make the contract valid. The favourite thought is "development;" and so they hold a development or genesis of matter, not a creation: matter continually progressing, in various forms, until at last it has progressed into these wise men of our day. To every task he came out from God's presence. He says to him: "I have decided to become a Christian." The Pharaoh had commanded that all of the Hebrew boys be thrown into the Nile River--drowned. If he takes them into such a relation to himself, he will provide for them accordingly. If we formed our Christian character practically on such epistles as those to the Ephesians and Colossians alone, depend on it there may not be the hard lines of the law, but there will be very far from the fervent affections which become him who feels the grace of Christ. A parepidemos ( G3927) was a man in lodgings, a man without a home in the place where life had sent him. Those whose names are mentioned, and the particular exercise and actings of whose faith are specified. It may be observed, too, that the Holy Ghost appears but little in this epistle. Above all things, he is the God of the gallant adventurer. He was the lender who had rescued them from slavery and who had received the Law of their lives from God. This is the fact. 31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace. Hebrews 11:22. Those who by faith walk with God in a sinful world are pleasing to him, and he will give them marks of his favour, and put honour upon them. XII. Their rashness was great, and their ruin was grievous. In these consists our double present association by faith, while on the earth. (Verses 1-7.). He was said to be the first man skilled in tailoring and in sewing and that he instructed men how to cut out skins in the proper shape to make garments. We often say, "It is good to be akin to an estate;" but surely it is good to be akin to the covenant. Time will fail me if I try to recount the story of Gideon, of Barak, of Samson, or Jephthah, of David. [2.] Joseph (Hebrews 11:22; this story is found in Genesis 50:24-25). This shows that, beyond question, among the Jews of that day, Psalms 110:1-7 was understood to refer to the Christ alone. Without hesitation they choose God ( Daniel 3:1-30). But this was the way God commanded them to take, and he loves to do great things by small and contemptible means, that his own arm may be made bare. There came a day when the situation ignited. A greater trial was never put upon any creature. (7.) It was by faith that he carried out the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroying angel might not touch the children of his people. They wished to destroy Moses there and then. It is possible for a person to be victorious over the enemy, to wax valiant in battle, to subdue the aliens, but it is also possible for the man of faith to be tortured for his faith. [3.] But he withstood their tortures and died faithful. Faith--the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. With only three hundred men Gideon won a victory over the Ammonites in days when they had terrorized Israel, a victory which went ringing down the centuries. Observe, [1.] God must come to us before we come to him. Hallo Bestemming kiezen Alle. They were not afraid of the king's commandment. Observe, (1.) An evil life it is to go from house to house. Under the inspiration of the prophetess Deborah, Barak assembled ten thousand young men and faced the fearful odds of the Canaanites with their nine hundred chariots of iron to win an almost incredible victory. As a supposed criminal, when the king's wrath was incensed against him for killing the Egyptian (. that is, of a great and severe judgment, such as the world had never yet seen, and of which, in the course of second causes, there was not yet the least sign. But here he was seeking communion with God when sin was in his heart. I'm looking for my dwelling with God in His eternal kingdom. While living in this tent I often groan earnestly desiring to be free, not that I would be unclothed or an unembodied spirit, but I want to be clothed upon with a body which is from heaven. If people have faith, it means they believe that things hoped for according to Gods promises will be achieved and that unseen powers of God are real. But they are completely gone; and therefore at God's right-hand sits down He who is its witness. From the beginning to the end of it the Christian in Hebrews is not thus dealt with apart from the old nature, as we may see him regarded in the ordinary epistles of Paul, where the old and the new man are most carefully separated. And why? Secondly, All true believers desire this better country. Accordingly observe the change of expression. They donned spiked iron gloves. [2.] The incident from the life of Joseph comes from Genesis 50:22-26. A lot of people from the secular world take this particular story to put down the Bible and to put down God. They saw them afar off. The man must choose between the will of God and the relationship which means so much to him. By their own confession the application of that Psalm was to the Messiah, and the very point that Jesus urged upon the Jews of His day was this how, if He were David's Son, as they agreed, could He be his Lord, as the Psalmist David confesses? The evidence of things not seen. The faith of Noah, Hebrews 11:7. Which of these two most commends itself as the unforced meaning of the passage it is for the reader to judge.
