The Pontifical Biblical Commission’s document The Jewish People and
their Sacred Scriptures in the Christian Bible calls attention to a threefold
connection between the two parts of the Christian Bible: continuity, discontinuity
and newness. The paper offers an analysis of a passage as an example
of this relationship. The Epistle to the Hebrews (11:8-22) puts a particular
emphasis on the desires of the patriarchs among other attitudes of the heroes
of faith. They were looking for what was promised to them and desired by
them: a city with solid foundations planned and built by God. Now those
desires can be fulfilled: the everlasting life with God is offered to all who
believe in Jesus Christ
