The scripture we are meditating on together today comes from the New Testament book of Hebrews, chapter 11, verse 16. Although we do not know the author of Hebrews, and there are many difficult parts of the book, we hope our listeners will not miss the many definite spiritual treasures, and principles of Christian living in the book. This chapter gives a brief review of real heroes of faith in history so that the faithful, and you and I, can be encouraged today. Whether you are in your hometown or a foreign land, or whether your home life is good or not, the beauty and glory or hardship and pain of this world will soon be gone. Let us fix our eyes on the "city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God", the glorious city built on the solid rock of our Savior Jesus Christ, and ask God to move us to tell the good news to those around us.
