Hebrews 11 has been an epic survey of characters from the Old Testament empowered by God to endure by faith. When you think about it, Jesus demonstrated all the characteristics of faith explored in Hebrews 11. He was:
- Confident in God’s word in his preaching
- Commended for his faith at his baptism
- Obedient to his Father, even to death on a cross
- Patient with his accusers
- Sacrificial in his suffering for our sins
- Aspirational in welcoming children and in training disciples
- Courageous before the Sandhedrin
- Self-denying in his evangelistic ministry
- Empowered by his faith to pray constantly and to endure appalling injustice
Where would you place yourself right now in the race toward a faith-filled life:
- On the bench?
- Running steadily?
- Ready to quit?
- Sidetracked by a different goal?
