YouHoo! Greeting from AFAR! John 8:56 (Episode #226)

Jesus and the Jews at the Temple are arguing where Jesus and Abraham rank in relation to one another.  At the end, they'll try to stone Jesus because of Who He asserts to be.

In the meantime, Jesus drops a pearl about Abraham from 2000 years before Christ.  (BC before it was mis-appropriated by politically correct historians).  As far as I know, nowhere else in the Bible do we have this little insight about father Abraham.   He tells us about Abraham's 
attitude: rejoicing
focus: on Me
direction:  future looking
It says that Abraham saw this future promise; this future Lord; and was GLAD.

Similarly, in the Hall of fame of faith of Hebrews Chapter 11:13, we find these heroes not having receive the promises yet, but SEEing them and GREETING them from afar.  Just like Abraham.  

We have lots of spiritual information that Abraham did not yet have.  So, we know more than he did.  But there is still lots left for God to reveal.  How should we then stand?  Looking with anticipation.  And, giving God a "YouHoo!" or a "Hey-Ho" or a "Hey over here!".  Listen and let's GREET Gladly from AFAR.
