Subject: Superior Hope |
Bible Note: The book of Hebrews is all about the superiority of Christ. Hebrews 11 is known as a "Hall of Fame." Each of these people of great faith received salvation in the same way that we do today (see Romans 4). Yet we can look back at the historical fulfillment of our hope, Jesus Christ. Thus, we have greater reason to persevere! |
