Hebrews 11:16, John 14:2-3

Jesus is preparing a place for me!

Everything is beautiful in its time, according to Ecclesiastes 3:11. But it’s the second half of that verse that concerns me. The whole verse says, “He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart.” It’s that “eternity” in my heart that has always disrupted the here and now. All we know is that there is something more than what meets our physical eyes and there is an inbred yearning for it. I’m thinking that this is what the author of Hebrews is referring to in Hebrews 11:6.  Speaking of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the pilgrims in the Promised Land, it says, “But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one.” There is a longing in our hearts that transcends the physical realm in which we live.

But I agree that everything is beautiful in its time. I love my life and as I look back on it I remember all the good things of each era of my life. I loved growing up in North Omaha and fishing at Miller Park Lagoon. I even love many memories of my elementary school years at Blessed Sacrament school; report cards I was afraid to show, my paper route, washers, box hockey and tether ball at the Parks & Recreation department in the summers, the first kiss on the lips.  I even love those disruptive High School years at Holy Name where I felt unwanted and an outcast most of the time.  I love my year aboard the USS WRIGHT and the girl in Puerto Rico. I love my memories of the USS WALLER crossing the Atlantic, entering the Mediterranean Sea, transiting the Suez Canal and a thrilling port stop in Massawa, Ethiopia. I love the memories of the young blonde California girl who left her home and family to venture with me 3000 miles from home. I still love her! I love the fact that she followed me from California to South Carolina to Corpus Christi to Pearl Harbor, to Detroit, Michigan, back to Texas and finally back to Nebraska. I remember the Tonkin Gulf aboard the USS RATHBURNE and the years I spent in the Western Pacific away from her and the two beautiful boys God gave me. Even through the trials and hardships everything was beautiful in its time. Yep! I love my life! But I know there is something more. I yearn for it!

The rest of Hebrews 11:6 says, “Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.” William MacDonald writes, “This spirit of pilgrimage is especially pleasing to God. Darby writes, ‘He is not ashamed to be called the God of those whose heart and portion are in heaven.’ He has prepared a city for them, and there they find rest and satisfaction and perfect peace.”[1] I now turn my thoughts to Jesus. In John 14:2-3 He says, “In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.” Yes, everything may be beautiful in its time, but there is nothing like an eternal home where we find rest, satisfaction and perfect peace!

Hebrews 11:14-15, John 8:56-58

Jesus is my home!

March 3, 2020

Michael Buble, Johnny Cash, John Denver, Van Morrison, Tom Jones, Bobby Bare and Mel Tillis are just some of the singers who sang songs with the line “I wanna go home! I wanna go home! Lord, how I wanna go home!” Whenever I hear a song like that, I think about my childhood days in north Omaha where I lived with my dear ole’ papa and momma, sister and brother from 1947 to 1961. After retiring from the Navy in 1991, I’ve returned to my home area and will occasionally drive through the old neighborhood. The streets are still laid out the same. Most of the same houses are still there and many of the old trees are still standing. But every time I drive through the neighborhood, I’m reminded that it’s not the same. Butch and Suzie are not playing in the yard across the street from me anymore. Only strangers’ faces is all I see. But they all know each other and the only alien there is me. I’m the stranger! Tom Wolfe and many others are right “you can never go home again.” But there remains an aching in my heart for home. But it’s not a place in time and space. It’s a situation of love, peace, joy and contentment.

Abraham, Isaac and Jacob lived as aliens in the world with an aching in their hearts for home. But they knew it wasn’t a physical place but a place that God would build that would transcend the physical and would reside eternal. In Hebrews 11:14-15 we read, “For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return.” Isn’t that what the aching for home is really all about? Bill MacDonald writes, “Faith implanted a homing instinct in them which was never satisfied by the delights of Canaan. There was always a yen for a better land which they could call home.”[1] Faith implants in us also a homing instinct. We all know that there is something missing.

In John 8:56-58, Jesus says to the religious leaders, “‘Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad.’ So the Jews said to him, ‘You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?’ Jesus said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.’” I believe that Abraham rejoiced to see Christ’s day in the dim distance. Jesus is the home Abraham, Isaac and Jacob longed for. Jesus is the home we all long for.  Long writes, “This sense of incompletion, the sadness of an unfinished journey, yearns for resolution. Are we simply left with a heartbreaking tale of faithful pilgrims who journeyed in faith but who never arrived at their cherished destination? No, we have a God who keeps promises, a God who sent another pilgrim, the heavenly Son, whose journey of faith led him into the valley of human suffering, into the place where Abraham and all who share his hope were perishing before coming to the end of the road. This pioneer made perfect through suffering (2:10) gathered up Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Jacob, and all who trust him, and takes them home to the distant city, saying to God, ‘Here am I and the children you gave me’ (2:13).’”[2]

Hebrews 11:13, 12:2, 2 Corinthians 4:18

Looking to Jesus!

Filed Under: Devotions by Chuck
March 3, 2020

Abraham and Sarah, as well as the others mentioned earlier in Hebrews chapter 11, did not see God’s promises fulfilled in their lifetimes. They did see the miraculous birth of their son Isaac but the ultimate promise of descendants as numerous as the grains of sand on the beach or the stars in the sky was something they would not witness in their lifetime. Further, none of the Patriarchs – Abraham, Isaac, or Jacob – would receive the promise of possession of the Promised Land. Yet, they had an understanding of them to some extent and by faith held on to their reality. Hebrews 11:13 says, “These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.”

God’s promises to believers today in Jesus won’t be realized in this life either. The prosperity theology that pervades US Television flies in the face of Biblical theology. The author of Hebrews as well as the rest of the Bible affirms the fact that we live in a fallen world during which time we do not have a permanent home and the promises from God are yet future in another realm. Don’t expect wealth, happiness, contentment, peace, joy, kindness, goodness or any of the fruits of the spirit to become full grown in our lives or in the lives of those around us as long as we’re in our flesh. All the things in this world are temporary anyway! 2 Corinthians 4:18 confirms this thought, “…we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.”

This seems to affirm that the saints in the Old Testament held firmly to the reality of an afterlife in which all of God’s promises would be fulfilled. Steadman says, “Such inner fulfillment is the gift of faith to those who today are willing to look beyond death to God’s day of perfect fulfillment. We cannot demand instant answers from God for all our earthly problems, but we can welcome them from a distance. We must not lose faith that God will satisfy every promise.”[1] Another commentary says, “Christians join the patriarchs in this feeling of anticipation. This world is not our home. We are looking for ‘the city that is to come’ (13:14), ‘the kingdom that cannot be shaken’ (12:28). In their early days of faith the readers had held their possessions of this world very lightly (10:32–34).”[2] We should too! We find our only recourse today is to keep our eyes on Jesus. The author of Hebrews will conclude with that thought in Hebrews 12:2. It says, “…looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Hebrews 11:12

The Promised Son is Jesus!

Filed Under: Devotions by Chuck
February 28, 2020

Hebrews 11:12 concludes the focus on Abraham and Sarah. It says, “Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as many as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.” As many descendants as stars in the sky and as many descendants as grains of sand on the beach were the two promises God gave to Abraham personally in Genesis. These descendants would come through the one and only legitimate son, Isaac! That birth was to be a miraculous one! It had to be that way so no human could claim a part in its fulfillment. It was fully satisfied by what God did alone!

There was nothing that Abraham and Sarah could have done to bring that about. They probably tried everything they could think of to conceive. It seemed that, although they believed God, they still felt they had to do something to help Him fulfill His promise of an heir. In Abraham’s life we see he tried to understand God’s promise of an heir as referring to his servant Eleazar, but God said it wouldn’t be him. Then he tried to assign that role to his nephew Lot and God said “no” again. He then worked with Sarah to bring Ishmael into the world as Abraham’s heir and God corrected that mistake also. It seems as though Abraham and Sarah believed God but still felt they had to help Him. The fulfillment of God’s promise and Isaac’s conception had nothing to do with the obedience or “works” of either of his parents. It had solely to do with the faithfulness of God to keep His promise. It was “by faith” as noted frequently in Hebrews chapter 11 but it wasn’t the quality of their faith that mattered. It was the object of their faith: God, Himself!

It had to be a miraculous birth because the story is about Jesus. You would think that the Jews, as a nation, would have caught that connection since Isaac was the “promised one” and Jesus was the ultimate “promised one.” The KJV Bible Commentators observe, “The whole Jewish nation is the product of a miracle birth. The Messiah, of whom Isaac was a type, would also be the product of a miraculous birth (Isa 7:14; Mt 1:18–25). More than anyone else, a Jew ought to be able to accept the supernatural birth of Jesus; for he himself is the result of Isaac’s miraculous birth.”[1] Several other commentators have observed, “Countless descendants of Abraham formed the nation Israel. And through Abraham all nations on earth were blessed (Gen. 12:3; Gal. 3:8). But more significantly, Abraham’s descendants ultimately are all believers (Rom. 9:6–8; Gal. 3:7–9, 16, 29; 4:28). All believers in Christ call Abraham their father, for in effect, the promised Son is the Christ, not Isaac.”[2] It’s not unusual for believers today to do the same thing that Abraham and Sarah did. We often feel we need to contribute something for God to be faithful to His promises given us through faith alone in Christ Jesus alone! But it is miraculous and there is nothing we can do to add to it! But God is not looking for a sacrifice from us. He’s looking for us to trust in Him. Hacking says, “Abraham’s supreme test was on a mountain top not far from where Calvary stood (vv. 17–19). There he offered back his son, a moving story where faith and love battled hard. In the event, Isaac was not sacrificed, but a ram took his place, another of those biblical signposts towards the cross.”[3]

Hebrews 11:11

Faith in Jesus will be rewarded!

Filed Under: Devotions by Chuck
February 28, 2020

Abel, Enoch, Noah and Abraham all put their faith in God’s Word. But there were women who believed God as well. The first of these mentioned is Abraham’s 90 year old wife, Sarah. Hebrews 11:11 says, “By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised.” She had a Word from God. She would conceive a son and through him she would be the mother of a great multitude just as Abraham would be the father of a great nation. Abraham left his home and his family to follow God’s specific call. So did Sarah! Abraham looked with faith to the future home that God would provide. So did Sarah! Abraham had a word from God and he acted on it and so did Sarah! As Abraham is known as the father of those who believe, Sarah is the mother of those who believe. Through faith she conceived and after many struggles gave birth to Isaac as God said she would.

The faith of Abraham and Sarah was demonstrated in many ways (11:8–19).  Abraham and Sarah believed God regarding their future even when they didn’t know where they were going, even when they didn’t know how they would get there, even when they didn’t know when the promise would be fulfilled and they weren’t completely filled in on why they were being led into this land and way of life. But it was their faith in the unseen future that propelled them forward. It enabled them to persevere until the promises were fulfilled. The “Teacher’s Commentary” uses the phrase “Faith enabled” with each of these Old Testament characters. Faith enabled Abel.  Faith enabled Enoch. Faith enabled Noah. Faith enabled Abraham and then “Faith enabled Sarah (11:11–12). Here is a most encouraging example. When Sarah first heard the promise, she doubted and laughed (Gen. 18:12–15). But first doubts were overcome. Faith swept in to enable her dead womb to gain the vitality needed for childbearing.”[1]

John Owens makes some interesting comments on the faith of Abraham and Sarah. He writes, “As Abraham was the father of the faithful, or the church, so Sarah was the mother of it. She was the free woman from which the church sprang (Galatians 4:22–23). And all believing women are her daughters (1 Peter 3:6; see also Genesis 17:16). Her work and obedience are held up to the church as an example, and so her faith may be as well (1 Peter 3:5–6). Sarah was equally involved with Abraham in the divine revelation. The blessing of the promised Seed was confined and appropriated to Sarah no less than to Abraham: ‘I will bless her … I will bless her so that she will be the mother of nations; kings of peoples will come from her’ (Genesis 17:16; see also Genesis 17:19; 18:10).”[2] In the end, God’s promise to Sarah came to be. It came to be beyond her wildest imagination. It was all “enabled” by her faith. My former professor, Tom Constable, says, “Sarah believed God would fulfill His promise and provide something (a child) totally beyond the realm of natural possibility. God wants us, too, to believe that. God rewarded her faith far beyond what she imagined, and He will reward ours in the same way.”[3]

Hebrews 11:9-10, 2 Timothy 3:15, Hebrews 12:1-2

Jesus is God’s Word!

Filed Under: Devotions by Chuck
February 27, 2020

Noah and Abraham heard God speak and acted on what they heard. God told Noah to build an ark. He did it! God told Abraham to leave his home. He did that! The core motive behind these acts was “faith.” They believed God’s Word and acted on it. Hebrews 11:9-10 repeats this truth for us. It says, “By faith he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God.” Hebrews chapter 1 begins with the assertion that God has given us his final Word. That Word was a “living” Word. It came to us in the person of His Son, Jesus. And the way we act on it is by believing in Him.

Just as Abraham left his home and his family and went to the “land of promise,” we too must divest ourselves of any inherited religion and personally entrust ourselves to the God who has promised us eternal life through the obedience of faith in Jesus.  Just as this was true of Abraham’s descendants, Isaac and Jacob, it’s true for every generation. We pack up and leave “Ur” by putting aside the religious garbs of the world and embracing the truth of Jesus Christ as the one and only Son of God who died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins and purchased for us a place in the “promised” land. We become heirs of God’s promised coming kingdom with all believers. We can’t see the “promised” land but by faith we trust it to be there and that Jesus is the only way to enter. He’s the way! He’s the door! He’s the truth! Noah had only one way to escape the flood. He had to build the ark! He had to act on God’s Word.  Abraham had only one way out of Ur. He had to act on God’s Word. For believers today, Jesus is the Ark! We must be “found in Him.” Jesus is the Way to the Promised Land. Just as Noah and Abraham had to forsake the familiar and comfortable and trust God’s Word completely, so too must every believer in every generation. Jesus is God’s Word for today!

When you read the rest of Hebrews chapter 11, you see the story of numerous Old Testament characters who trusted in God’s Word to them even though the promises for obedience were totally invisible to the natural senses. In his “River of Dreams” Billy Joel sings about something that can only be seen “by the eyes of the blind.” The call of God was that way for those ancient characters and it’s that way for us. Jesus told the disciples on the road to Emmaus that the Scriptures were about Himself. Jesus told the religious leaders who searched the scriptures to find eternal life that the scriptures would lead directly to Him and true eternal life in the Promised Land. Paul told Timothy that the Scriptures, the Old Testament, and its characters all teach us about Jesus. He wrote in 2 Timothy 3:15, “You have been taught the Holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus.” After the litany of all the Old Testament examples, the author of Hebrews writes at the beginning of Chapter 12, “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith…”

Hebrews 11:8

Obedience is believing in Jesus!

Filed Under: Devotions by Chuck
February 27, 2020

The author of Hebrews used the lives of three ancient biblical characters as examples of those who were declared righteous by God because they trusted Him; Abel, Enoch, and Noah. But in Hebrews 11:8-19, he focuses more attention on the founders of those who live by faith; Abraham and Sarah. Jews, Muslims and Christians alike look to Abraham as the father of those who believe. Thomas says, “Abraham’s faith shined brightly out of a dark background. Paul spent an entire chapter (Rom. 4) commending the faith of this spiritual leader. Abraham received a call to follow God which he accepted without question. He left Haran by faith (Gen. 11:31–12:4) and let God supply the road map. He did not receive his inheritance at the time of his first call, and he did not even know the location of the Promised Land. His daring faith earned him the title of ‘father of the faithful.’”[1]

The commentary on Abraham begins with the focus on Abraham’s faith. Hebrews 11:8 says, “By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.” Morris observed the point of the writer of Hebrews regarding this chapter when he wrote, “To leave the certainties one knows and go out into what is quite unknown—relying on nothing other than the Word of God—is the essence of faith, as the author sees it.”[2] This is what faith, even today, is all about. Wuest quoted Davidson and says, “…the life of faith must be entered on in ignorance of the way to the inheritance, or even what the inheritance and rest in each one’s particular case will be, and of the experiences that the way will bring. This is true even of ordinary life.”[3]

Whereas it might not be as clear regarding the obedience of Abel and Enoch, Noah and Abraham are commended for hearing God’s word and responding to it in obedience. It’s all about “faith” that leads to obedience! I’m afraid many suggest that to us, it’s about obedience to the law. But I’d argue just as Noah had a message from God and acted on it and Abraham had a message from God and acted on it, so too do we have a particular message from God apart from the law and are called to “act” on it by believing in it! It might sound strange to think of believing in the Gospel as an act of “obedience” but as Bob Wilkin says, “It is biblically correct to speak of faith as an act of obedience. After all, God commands us to believe the Gospel (e.g., Acts 16:31). Support for this view is seen in many passages. Acts 6:7 says that ‘many of the priests were obedient to the faith.’ Romans 10:16 and 2 Thess 1:8 speak of obeying or disobeying the Gospel. See also, John 3:36; 6:28-29; 1 Pet 1:2, 22; 2:7-8; and Acts 5:32.” He then concludes, “The obedience of faith spoken of in Rom 1:5 and 16:26 does not refer to obeying all that God has commanded. No one but the Lord Jesus has done that. Rather, it refers specifically to obeying the command to believe the Gospel. If you’ve done that, you’ve exercised the obedience of faith.” See https://faithalone.org/grace-in-focus-articles/the-obedience-which-is-faith-romans-15-and-1626/

Hebrews 11:7, Habakkuk 2:4, Genesis 9:6

Jesus is God’s Word to us!

Filed Under: Devotions by Chuck
February 27, 2020

In Hebrews 11:7, the author moves from Enoch’s faith to talk about Noah’s. In verse 1 of this chapter we read that faith consisted of believing in something that remains unseen. Then in verse 6 we learn that faith consists not only of believing in God’s existence but also believing that he is a good God who has our best interest foremost in mind. He loves us and will keep all His glorious promises. Noah’s faith seems to illustrate both of these dynamics. He believed in a promise-keeping God to keep a promise that he could not see. Lane says that Noah’s faith, “demonstrates a spiritual sensitivity to the reality of God that enabled Noah to endure the scorn of his contemporaries and the occasional doubts of his own mind, firmly persuaded that the safety of his family would be the reward that would follow a period of persevering expectation.”[1]

Hebrews 11:7, says, “By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.” The last phrase is the most significant phrase to me. All Jewish literature of the first century and even our time makes claims to the righteousness of Noah in and of himself. But the writer of Hebrews clarifies the nature of Noah’s righteousness by connecting it to the comment about how righteous people live in the book of Habakkuk. Again, Lane says, “Noah responded to God with a full measure of faith, and this accounts for the attestation of Scripture that he was righteous. It also anticipates the prophetic oracle that ‘my righteous one shall live by faith’ (Hab 2:4), which was cited in 10:38 just before the catalogue of attested witnesses.”[2]

Notice that the writer calls Noah an “heir” of the righteousness that comes by faith. The book of Hebrews begins by pronouncing Jesus as “the heir of all things” (Hebrews 1:2). Then in the course of the next few chapters he insists that those who believe in Jesus are now co-heirs with Him. To finish my quote from Lane, he says, “The concept of ‘an heir of the righteousness according to faith’ implies that others who respond to God with the faith that Noah demonstrated will share with him in the righteousness God bestows upon persons of faith. The theme of the heir is a recurring motif in Hebrews, where the Son of God is acknowledged as ‘the heir of everything’ (1:2) and Christians are described as the heirs of salvation (1:14) and of the promises of God (6:12, 17; cf. 9:15).”[3] Of all the issues that could be discussed regarding these verses on Noah and the Genesis account of Noah, we can’t overlook the fact that the focus in Hebrews was about Noah’s faith. God gave him a “word.” God spoke to him. He believed it and then acted on what he believed. Morris put it this way, “Here in v. 7 we have the author’s one use of the term “righteousness” in the Pauline sense of the righteousness that is ours by faith. In the Bible, Noah was the first man to be called righteous (Gen 6:9). He was right with God because he took God at his word; he believed what God said and acted on it.”[4] Today, God gives us His Word in a person; His one and only Son, Jesus Christ. We act on God’s word by believing in Jesus.
