Why does the author of Hebrews interrupt his list of the faithful in the middle of chapter 11? What is he pointing out by reminding us that Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, and Jacob "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" (v13 ESV)? In this message focus on the implications of chapter 11 verses 13-16.
