Hebrews 11:1-35 ~ Faith! Happy 1,992nd Easter. Thank You, Lord Jesus Christ

 





One of the most interesting and least discussed aspects
of the Shroud of Turin,
after the scientists and test discovered, the outer edges were repaired in
the 1200s and 1400s,
the next test was for radiation.
The Shroud of Turin 
has profound
levels of radiation 
after being sequestered in
preservation
radiation free areas for thousands of years.



Let there be Light
and
The Sunrise shall visit us from upon high.








Darkness has not
overcome
The Light
















Easter is Jesus Triumphant. 

In Easter, we see and fully understand John's Gospel 
opening by describing Jesus as 
Light. 

 Jesus Christ is acknowledged as Light of mankind.
 Light of the world. In all things. 
Light of Nations. 
Light of Heaven. 


God spoke Let There Be Light
And then He spoke all creation into existence and life. We understand God has made an incredible Universe by being able to have the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory to rearrange - all things.



John 1

1 In the beginning was the Word,
 and the Word was with God, 
and the Word 
was God. 

2 He was in the beginning with God.

 3 All things were made through Him, 
and 
without Him was not any thing made that was made. 

4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 

5 The Light shines in the darkness, 
and the darkness has not overcome it. 



9 The true Light, 
which gives light to everyone, 
was coming into the world.



The Psalms of David have incredible glory and power to reveal the Plans of God. To shape magnificent events into a pattern easily loved, held deeply to our core. David reveals the Holy Spirit. Behold, His Word in the Psalms.

Hebrews, the Book Paul wrote in the Power and Glory of the Holy Spirit, reveals this magnificence. Easter is a Hebrews 11 Realization, Behold Glory.

Easter is easily a Hebrews, Chapter 11 Day.  Jesus believes this as well. He told the gawking Pharisees He personally knows Abraham


Behold!

Hebrews 11:1-35




Now faith 
is the assurance of things hoped for, 
the conviction of things not seen. 

2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 

3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the Word of God, 
so that what is seen 
was not made out of things that are visible.



4 By faith Abel 
offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks. 




5 By faith Enoch 
was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. 



6 And without faith 
it is impossible to please Him, 
for whoever would draw near to God 
must believe 
that He exists 
and 
that He rewards those who seek Him. 




7 By faith Noah, 
being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, 
in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household.
 By this he condemned the world and became
 an heir of the righteousness 
that comes by faith.





8 By faith Abraham obeyed 
when he was called to go out to a place 
that he was to receive as an inheritance. 

And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 
9 By faith 
he went to live in the Land of Promise, 
as in a foreign land,
 living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, 
heirs with him of the same promise. 

10 For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, 
whose designer and builder is God. 

11 By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, 
even when she was past the age, 
since she considered Him faithful Who had promised.


 12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, 
were born descendants 
as many as the stars of heaven 
and as many as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.



These 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. 14 For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. 15 If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a Heavenly one.



 Therefore God 
is not ashamed to be called their God, 
for He has prepared for them a city.




17 By faith Abraham, 
when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son, 18 of whom it was said, “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” 19 He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, figuratively speaking, 
he did receive him back. 



20 By faith Isaac 
invoked future blessings on Jacob and Esau. 



21 By faith Jacob, 
when dying, 
blessed each of the sons 
of Joseph, bowing in worship over the head of his staff. 



22 By faith Joseph, 
at the end of his life, 
made mention of the exodus of the Israelites 
and gave directions concerning his bones.




23 By faith Moses, 
when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, 
because they saw that the child was beautiful, 
and they were not afraid of the king's edict. 

24 By faith Moses, 
when he was grown up, 
refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, 
25 choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God 
than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 

26 He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth 
than the treasures of Egypt, 
for he was looking to the reward. 

27 By faith 
he left Egypt, 
not being afraid of the anger of the king, 
for he endured as seeing him who is invisible. 

28 By faith 
he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, 
so that the Destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.




29 By faith 
the people crossed the Red Sea as on dry land, 
but the Egyptians, when they attempted to do the same, were drowned. 



30 By faith 
the walls of Jericho fell down 
after they had been encircled for seven days. 


31 By faith 
Rahab the prostitute did not perish 
with those who were disobedient, 
because she had given a friendly welcome to the spies.



32 And what more shall I say? 

For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets— 

Who through 
faith 

conquered kingdoms, 
enforced justice, 
obtained promises, 
stopped the mouths of lions, 
quenched the power of fire, 
escaped the edge of the sword, 
were made strong out of weakness, 
became mighty in war, 
put foreign armies to flight. 

Women received back their dead by resurrection. 












John 21

 Later, Jesus appeared again to His followers by Lake Galilee. 

This is how it happened: 2 Some of the followers were together—Simon Peter, Thomas (called Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the two sons of Zebedee, and two other followers. 3 Simon Peter said, “I am going out to fish.”

The other followers said, “We will go with you.” 
So all of them went out and got into the boat. 
They fished that night but caught nothing.

4 Early the next morning Jesus stood on the shore.
 But the followers did not know it was Jesus. 

5 Then He said to them, 

“Friends, have you caught any fish?”

They answered, “No.”

6 He said, 

“Throw your net into the water on the right side of your boat. You will find some fish there.” So they did this. They caught so many fish that they could not pull the net back into the boat.

7 The follower Jesus loved very much said to Peter, “That man is the Lord!” When Peter heard him say it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around himself. (He had taken his clothes off to work.) Then he jumped into the water. 8 The other followers went to shore in the boat. They pulled the net full of fish. They were not very far from shore, only about 100 yards. 9 When they stepped out of the boat and onto the shore, they saw a fire of hot coals. There were fish on the fire and some bread there too. 


10 Then Jesus said, 

“Bring some of the fish that you caught.”





Abba, Father,

on earth
just as it is in Heaven.

Give us This Day
Our Daily Bread.
Jesus the Living Bread.

Forgive us our Trespasses
as
we forgive those
who Trespass 
Against us.

Lead us not into temptation
Deliver us from Evil. 

For Thine
is the
Kingdom
and the Power
and the Glory.

Amen in Jesus Christ 




John 21

Thank you, Jesus our Lord Christ

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
