The Unchanging Word continues our study in Hebrews 11 at verse 17.
In this study, Dr. Mitchell shares how Abraham trusted God in what seemed like an impossible situation.
God had fulfilled His promise to Abraham to give him a son. But now God wanted him to offer up his only begotten son, Isaac.
This foreshadows what God Himself would go through with His Son in the centuries to come. And what did God do with His only begotten Son? He raised His crucified Son from the dead. This is a foundational truth of the Christian faith. Jesus is now alive and it is possible and desirable to have a relationship with Him even today.
Next, Dr. Mitchell explains how Joseph, in Egypt, believed God's promise to provide the sons of Israel with their own land.
With that faith, Joseph instructed the sons of Israel to bury his bones in the land of Israel after they left Egypt.
And they did, over 425 years later. Joshua 24:32
Here is Dr. Mitchell, Hebrews 11:17-22.
