Tinling's Illustrations Hebrews 11:13-14 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them… "My father's death," says the son and biographer of Caesar Malan, "will remain for those who witnessed it the most astonishing of all his actions. The doctor, on quitting him, said to me one day: 'I have just seen what I had heard spoken of, but what I had not seen before. Now I have seen it, as I see this stick which I hold in my hand." 'And what, then, have you seen?' I asked him. 'I have seen faith. I say the faith, not of the theologian, but of the Christian. I have seen it with my eyes,' he replied." (Tinling's Illustrations.) Parallel Verses KJV: These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. |
