Keeping Our Eyes on the One Who Is Invisible Hebrews 11:17-28
If something is invisible, how can you know it exists? How do you know God exists?
Read Hebrews 11:17-19. What did Abraham do “by faith?” How could he do this knowing that Isaac was the child of promise?
What if God were to ask you to sacrifice your child – do you think He would? How would you respond?
Read Hebrews 11:20-22. What did Isaac do “by faith”? What makes his promising a blessing to his sons an act of faith? How does Jacob stealing the blessing from Esau fit into all this?
How is Jacob’s blessing of Joseph’s sons an act of faith? How does this relate to Jacob’s own experience from the blessing from Isaac? Why is this so significant?
How is Joseph’s faith demonstrated in saying the people of Israel would leave Egypt? How had Joseph demonstrated faith in God throughout his life? What was he looking forward to?
Read Hebrews 11:23-26. How is faith seen in these verses? How could Moses be thinking about Christ? (vs.26) What would this mean to those reading this letter?
Read Hebrews 11:27-28. Where did Moses keep his eyes? What difference does this make? What is the significance of the Passover for us as Christians?
Prayer
Ask the Lord to help you keep your eyes on Him and not on the things of this life. Open your hands to Him as a sign of your surrender.
