Faith needs a face 2
April 23, 2021
Wouldn’t you love to live like the giants of faith in Hebrews 11? I read of Abraham, Rahab, Joseph, and Noah. They raise the bar. They believed and acted without seeing. Moved not knowing where they were going, welcomed spies that could have meant death, talked of freedom while a slave, built a boat on dry ground. That’s ‘confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.’
Thankfully, God is fully of mercy and grace. He knew on our weak days our faith would need a face. Jesus was God’s answer–human–compassionate facing tax collectors, prostitutes, impulsive friends, even the thief dying next to him. God said to care for widows. Jesus showed us how providing for his widowed Mom when he was in death’s throws himself.
