The manner in which he was called Stephen relates in Acts 7:2-3, The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in MesopotamiaAnd said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I will show thee. By faith Moses, when he came of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; but chose rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season ( Hebrews 11:24-25 ); He made a very interesting choice. The next instance of faith is that of the Israelites, under Joshua their leader, before the walls of Jericho. The method prescribed seemed very improbable to answer such an end, and would doubtless expose them to the daily contempt of their enemies; the ark of God would seem to be in danger.

In the Letter of Aristeas the writer says: "It is a fine thing to live and to die in one's native land; a foreign land brings contempt to poor men and shame to rich men, for there is the lurking suspicion that they have been exiled for the evil they have done." The Jews would not have Him living. The belief of this will carry us through the greatest difficulties and trials that we can meet with. But he withstood their tortures and died faithful. 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. 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). They are strangers as saints, whose home is heaven; they are pilgrims as they are travelling towards their home, though often meanly and slowly. 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 blessing which Isaac gave is in Genesis 27:28-29; Genesis 27:39-40. As Barrie made Peter Pan say: "To die will be an awfully big adventure." But even the apostle felt his own need of the prayers of the faithful, not because he had gone wrong, but because he was conscious of no hindrance to his work from a had conscience.

I like Him to spell out the whole thing. He necessarily completes all as the pattern for the Christian. It may well be that the only offering which a man can properly bring to God is his most precious possession. That before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. Immediately a Christian has set out on some enterprise sent him by God, he should feel that he has already passed the point of no return. The last chapter (Hebrews 13:1-25) follows this up with some practical exhortations as to brotherly love continuing; then as to kindness to strangers, or hospitality; finally, as to pity for those in bonds. For they that say such things declare plainly that they are seeking for a country. But would a Jew infer hence that it was only the city of David he was speaking of? Then he adds: "And to myriads of angels, the general assembly" for such is the true way to divide the verse "and to the church of the firstborn," etc. "Just have enough faith and you'll never be sick.

God, give us that kind of wisdom that in our choices we will take eternity into view. But they are completely gone; and therefore at God's right-hand sits down He who is its witness. When God told Abraham to offer up his son Isaac, Abrahams faith was tested, because Isaac was the person through whom God promised to give Abraham a multitude of descendants. The fulfilment of the Melchisedec Order is found in Christ, and in Him alone. The faith of Jacob (; Hebrews 11:21), who, when he was dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph, and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff. For, before this change came to him it was testified that he pleased God. The Christian faith is a hope that has turned to certainty. (3.) But God took care to summon His children outside to abandon the whole system before it was destroyed. The earth was so wicked that God decided that there remained nothing to do but destroy it. But how? (1.) Abraham took a stick and smashed all the idols but one, in whose hands he set the stick he had used. It begins with Abel, one of the first saints, and the first martyr for religion, of all the sons of Adam, one who lived by faith, and died for it, and therefore a fit pattern for the Hebrews to imitate. Those with whom they sojourned would have been willing enough to part with them. By faith they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land: and the Egyptians attempting to do it were drowned ( Hebrews 11:28-29 ). The choice comes to every man either to listen to or to disregard the message of God. He rests confidingly on the cross, that only valid moral basis before God; at the same time he is waiting for the glory that is to be revealed. And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die; and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. This prediction of Joseph could have rested only on faith in the promise of God. Now when a child hears another child cry, he will cry too. 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. The meaning is, that spiritual guides shall give an account of their own behaviour in watching over other souls; for it is a work that calls for much jealousy over self, patience with others, painstaking labour, lowliness of mind, and that hearty love which can bear all, endure all, believe all. Thursday, January 12, 2023 Hebrews 12:5 -- On Love and Memory "And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:" Hebrews 12:5 This points out a couple of areas where we are frequently weak.

They were confronted with "the wheels and racks and hooks and catapults and caldrons and frying pans and finger racks and iron hands and wedges and hot cinders." The meal offering it was called. Such was the Priest of whom God spoke. It is human to fear to miss the chance; but it is great to wait for the time of God--even when it seems like throwing a chance away. The severest and final trial of Abraham's faith was giving up the son, in whom all the promises were infolded, to receive him back on a resurrection ground in figure. So there sprung forth from Abraham an innumerable host of people. the matter came to boiling-point. Here observe. They went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, they were in want, they were oppressed, they were maltreated--the world was not worthy of them--they wandered in desert places and on the mountains, they lived in caves and in holes of the earth. The reward of his faith in this great trial (, He blessed them; that is, he resigned them up to God in covenant; he recommended God and religion to them; he prayed for them, and prophesied concerning them, what would be the condition, and the condition of their descendants: we have the account of this in. When we remember that the one who makes the promise is God, there comes the realization that however astonishing that promise may be, it must none the less be true. It is easy to argue: "Why should I refuse the pleasure of the moment for an uncertain future?" 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.'. but having seen them afar off, they were persuaded of them, and they [held on to them] embraced them, and they confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the eaRuth ( Hebrews 11:13 ). For by it [that is, by faith] the elders obtained a good report ( Hebrews 11:2 ). They were stoned; they were sawn asunder; they underwent every kind of trial; they died by the murder of the sword. He would have done so if God had not stopped him at the last possible moment (F. F. Bruce, Commentary on the Epistle to the Hebrews [Eerdmans], p. 308). When Moses was entrusted to the waters of the Nile, he was found by the daughter of Pharaoh, whose name is given as Bithia, or more commonly Thermouthis. It was a testimony of his righteousness.

Clement of Alexandria said: "We have no fatherland on earth." Isaac and Jacob were heirs of the same promise; for the promise was renewed to Isaac (Genesis 26:3), and to Jacob, Genesis 28:13. The God with whom we have to do is an invisible God: he is so to our senses, to the eye of the body; and this shows the folly of those who pretend to make images of God, whom no man hath seen, nor can see.

Obey your leaders, and submit yourselves; for they watch for your souls, as those that shall give account." There have been many who have sacrificed their careers to what they took to be the will of God. It's yours." It became God to give Him to die; for such was our estate by sin that nothing short of His atoning death could deliver us; but, having delivered us, God would make us to be heavenly.
