What Faith Sees, Part 2

Faith is a way of seeing, and the saints in the second half of Hebrews 11 saw two things: solidarity and resilience. From Moses through the judges, the prophets, and early Christian martyrs, faith chooses to identify with the people of God rather than the "fleeting pleasures of sin." And when suffering threatened to undo them, faith strengthened them to endure, contributing to what Augustine called the City of Man while waiting most of all for the City of God.
