The Encircling Cloud of Witnesses

The author of Hebrews picks up a concept, a Roman concept. In a Roman house you would have had this entryway of your house that you would have gone inside and out of. Every time you left your house, every time you came into your house, you were reminded that you were part of a story bigger than yourself. And the family that you really belong to is not the family thatyou necessarily came from, it's not the storyline that you necessarily came from," he says.
