Retroactive Benefits | What a Magnificent Advent Plan!

Pastor Jeske' continues his advent series "What a Magnificent Advent Plan!" discussing the "retroactive benefits"  in Hebrews 11:8-19.  These verses highlight the glorious outcome of a lifetime of faith. The author reminds his readers that people like Abraham did not, in this life, receive all that they had been promised. God promised Abraham a nation as numerous as the stars. But all that Abraham received, in this life, was Isaac. Abraham died not yet receiving his nation. This did not stop Abraham from pressing on in faith. His faith was not in the reward but the God of the reward.
