Parenthesis - Discerning the Abrahamic Inheritance

The Hebrews writer notably inserted a parenthetic commentary in the middle of his consideration of Abraham's faith. This commentary underscores the forward-looking orientation of faith/faithfulness (11:1), but with particular emphasis on faith's discernment of and preoccupation with the inheritance God has promised to His people. This message examines the writer's argument, but from the vantage point of his perspective and understanding of Israel's scriptures and their fulfillment in Jesus the Messiah.
