Something better for us

God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us. – Hebrews 11v40

As amazing as the Hall of Faith it is even more amazing when we remember that these folks had not received the promise of the Messiah when they acted in faith. They knew He was coming, but they had not seen Him so never in their lives received the full promise that Messiah would bring.

But eventually their faith was perfected in Christ. Today we have it so much better than they do. We can look back to the finished work of Christ on the cross where they weren’t even sure what they were looking for.

How amazing that God had something better for us, even though we deserved nothing. Praise God for the opportunity to look back at the cross in faith instead of having to look forward to the unknown work of God.

And thank God for the faith of those who did look forward.
