Hebrews 11

Here is something funny about Hebrews 11, which is like God's Hall of Fame of faithful people. At the very end, the writer says that,

These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised.


They did what they were supposed to do at the right time, but even these people didn't receive what they were promised. It goes on to say:

Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.


I want to have this kind of faith, and I want to continue walking towards that city.
