Hebrews 11:21Jacob, when he was a dyingThe death-bed of Jacob:In this chapter St.Paul sets himself to the collecting, from the history of patriarchs and others, examples of the power of faith. Inspired as be was, we may not doubt that the instances which he selects are at least as strong as any which the histories present. Yet they do not always seem so. In many cases, had the selection been left with ourselves, we should not have fixed on the same example as St. Paul; so that we have cases in... read more

Hebrews 11:22Joseph … gave commandment concerning his bonesThe faith of Joseph on his death-bedIt is a noble scene which is brought before us by the simple record of the historian; and I call upon you to behold it, that you may learn what faith can do against the promptings of nature, the suggestions of suspicion, and the dictates of pride.I know what would be likely to be the uppermost feelings in that expiring man, who, amid all the insignia of authority and wealth, is bidding farewell to... read more

Hebrews 11:23Moses … was hid.., of his parentsThe faith of Moses’ parentsI. WHAT IS COMMENDED. “Faith.” Natural affections sanctified are subservient and useful to faith; grace cloth not abolish nature, but perfect it. We are to obey God against our natural affections; as by faith Abraham offered his son Isaac; nature was against it. And we are to obey God with natural affection: by faith Moses was hid of his parents; there nature was for it. Many times God’s interests and ours are twisted... read more

Hebrews 11:24-26MosesThe power of a good lifeAt Rome there is a colossal statue of Moses by Michael Angelo--one of the greatest statues in the world.He is represented with long hair streaming over his robe, and as you gaze on the awful statue you are smitten with awe; love and admiration are lost in dread. There is nothing attractive in mere human greatness; it is beyond our reach; but when greatness is but the attribute of goodness it instantly becomes refreshing. For goodness is in the power... read more

Hebrews 11:26Respect unto the recompenseThe recompense of the rewardI.DUTY, CONSIDERED BARELY AS DUTY, DOES NOT CARRY IN IT A SUFFICIENT MOTIVE TO ENGAGE THE WILL OF MAN IN THE CONSTANT PRACTICE OF IT. 1. If in the soul of man its averseness to duty be much stronger than its inclination to it, then duty, considered barely in itself, is not sufficient to determine the will of man to the constant performance of it; which, in my judgment, is an argument so clear, that one of greater force cannot... read more

Hebrews 11:27He forsook EgyptMoses forsaking EgyptI.HE FORSOOK EGYPT. Two several times. 1. When he fled into the land of Midian, where he was a stranger and a shepherd for many years. 2. When he brought Israel out of Egypt, Whether of these is here intended? Some think the former; some the latter; some both. Yet, whether it be one or both, it is certain both that he did leave Egypt and that he did leave it in this manner. In the former departure he fled to avoid danger: in the latter he... read more

Hebrews 11:28Kept the PassoverFaith and Mystery:There is scarcely one revelation of God in the Bible which does not involve mystery--which does not try, therefore, severely try, the submissiveness of our faith.Notoriously is this the case with that revelation which was typified by the Passover. What connection, man asks, can be conceived of, between the Saviour’s crucifixion and the absolution of the sinner? What link of intelligible union can exist between the shedding of the life-blood of the... read more

Hebrews 11:29Passed through the Red SeaIsraelites’ passage through the Red SeaI.HISTORICALLY, AS A NOTABLE PATTERN OF PROVIDENCE; and so it represents to us two things1. Unspeakable comfort to all believers in the midst of their extremities. God can disentangle and help them out, for He is with them in all their dangers (Isaiah 43:2). 2. It speaks terror to the wicked, and such as maliciously pursue the people of God, as the Egyptians did here. II. SACRAMENTALLY (1 Corinthians 10:2). 1. They... read more

Hebrews 11:30The walls of Jericho fell downFeeble means and great results:In the means employed by the children of Israel there was nothing adequate to so great and instant a catastrophe.There was surely no visible or real connection between compassing the city in procession and the falling of the walls which followed. We learn from the whole of this part of our subject, that whatever obstructs the march of the people of God, God not only is able, but is pledged and willing to remove. Rocks... read more

Hebrews 11:31RahabRahab1.Think what a moral mixture the human heart may hold, what a mass of contradictions it is! Rahab, loyal lover to her kindred, traitor to her king, gifted with insight above her fellow-citizens, yet exposing herself to the scorn of man, possessed of a crude faith, yet selling her honour for gain l Surely the warp of heaven and the woof of hell were never woven together more strangely. Surely there never was such a peculiar character thrown off from the loom of life. But... read more
