Today’s Reading

The Epistle to the Hebrews

Chapter 11:17-22

Greetings in the Name of Jesus Christ

In the next three entries we will read about the faith of those who without actually seeing the promise of the heavenly hope, still walked in the belief that God would indeed keep His Word and bring them there when their pilgrimage on the earth had ended. 

17 By faith Abraham offered up Isaac, when he was tried, and he that had received the promises, offered his only begotten son.
18 (To whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.)
19 For he considered that God was able to raise him up even from the dead: from whence he received him also after a sort.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, concerning things to come.
21 By faith Jacob when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph, and leaning on the end of his staff, worshipped God.
22 By faith Joseph when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel, and gave commandment of his bones.
