Margo's Bible Verses, October 23rd

On this date, October 23th, Margo was reading in the book of Acts 10:23--48 titled "Peter at the Centurion's House" and in Hebrews 11:17--20 titled "God's Testing of Abraham".

No verses in the chapter in Acts were underlined, but a couple verses were underlined in the passage in the book of Hebrews.

Verse 13 of Hebrews chapter 10 provides some context: "13:All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own."

"17: By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had received the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son...20:By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future."
