Hebrews 11:1-31-- Longing for a Better Country

Scripture: Hebrews 11:1-31

Hebrews 11. The "Hall of Faith". Seriously, there are probably statues of these people in heaven.

But for all the times you've read this beloved chapter, have you ever wondered why it's there?

Hebrews 8-- Better Promises

Scripture: Hebrews 8

Near the end of Hebrews 7, a bold declaration was made: "Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant."

The author of Hebrews is bolder than I. (Admittedly, that's not saying much.) I don't think I'd feel comfortable ever saying that one major act of God was 'better' than another. Then again, I'm also not penning any Scripture.
