\nDay 21<\/strong>
\nThere is something better than physical resuscitation, recuperation, rejuvenation. It is bodily resurrection\u2014a better resurrection.<\/i>
\nRead Hebrews 11:29-40.
\nWhat could be better than having the one you love who has died raised back to life again? What could be better than escaping being tortured for your faith? Hebrews 11 tells us what\u2014a resurrection that is more than mere rehabilitation or resuscitation. Those who were raised back to this life again still died eventually. (What a bummer to have to die a second time!) These heroes of faith had their hearts set on a better resurrection, a resurrection that would be for forever.
\nThey were not hoping for just a temporary fix to the problem of death, but an eternal one. Throughout history, believers have experienced God\u2019s supernatural power in many ways, but the ultimate miracle we long for is the \u201cbetter resurrection,\u201d which is eternal.
\nIn what way do the experiences of faith in verses 35b-38 stand as a stark contrast to the faith achievements described in 32-35a?
\nAccording to 11:39-40, what three things were true for both the victorious and the suffering heroes?
