Beginning Hebrews ch. 12.
Avery RotenHostOkay, on a serious note, the end of Hebrews 11, hm, starting in about 37, reads, "They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed with the sword.
They went about in skins of sheeps and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated, of whom the world was not worthy, wandering about in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
All these, though committed through their faith, did not receive what was promised, since God had provided something better for us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect," completely destroying, uh, numerous resurrections, by the way.
The end of 11 caps off what has been coined the hall of fame of faith or the faith chapter.
It details numerous Old Testament saints, um, their life of faith, um, and, and even highlights their temporal circumstances being negative clearly here.
And nonetheless, their faith endured, because it was a faith given of the Spirit.
Their faith, um, is a model for us even, even now, and I think that's the main practical application of Hebrews 11 is it's to us, let your faith be like theirs.
Verse 40: "Since God had provided something better for us," Christ, the fulfillment of Old Testament types and shadows, the thing into which angels long to look, the thing into which prophets long to look and discover the fulfillment of, we have.
So in light of all of that, 12:1, "Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely.
Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us." If there's ever been a text that'll preach, that's this one, man.
So in light of all the [clears throat] somewhat akin, and we've, we've beat this horse to death of Pauline authorship, or at least Pauline material here in Hebrews, so we won't belabor that.
But another Pauline epistle, 1 Corinthians 10, you see him basically state a few Old Testament examples and say, "These..." This is paraphrased.
