Ready to Enter

According to the writer of Hebrews the saints listed in chapter 11 among the faithful all died in faith

“without receiving the things that were promised.”

As the last verse in the chapter makes clear, this is the point of the words written about them. They believed, their faith led to extraordinary works, they went to be with Christ (which is far better than anything they knew here), but they still were waiting—waiting for the coming of the One Who would finally die, once for all, that they might be assured of life eternal. God was waiting for us to arrive on the scene—and believe. How wonderful that He and they patiently waited for us.

But patience is one of the great biblical virtues; it is not merely another piece of the Spirit’s fruit. How good God has been to us (as He was to them) to postpone the fulfillment of the promises so that we too could cash in on them. The day when we rise to meet the Lord in the air, and all that occurs subsequently, is yet in the future, but we have come right up to it. We could not be closer without being inside enjoying the festivities of Hebrews 13:22-24! It’s as if we were standing in the vestibule looking through the glass doors at the joyous gathering inside. As we die, the door opens and we join the crowd!

THANKS FOR THE WONDERFUL PICTURE OF THAT DAY FOUND IN THIS CHAPTER!

Hebrews

This is the first of a 13 week series Dr. Adams is teaching on the Book of Hebrews this fall. We apologize for the sound quality on this first video. I am using a new camera and I had it set wrong. We will have it fixed next week.

Please understand that we have simply set up a camera so you can listen in. His focus is on the students sitting in front of him—not you. There is quite a bit of interaction with students that you may not be able to hear.

We are so thankful Dr. Adams has regained enough strength to be able to teach again. Please continue to pray that God would grant him more and more strength each week.

We plan to post the notes Dr. Adams wrote for this series later.
