Charles Spurgeon Commentary Hebrews 11:19

"accounting that God [is] able to raise up, even from the dead; from whence he did also in a figure receive him back." — Hebrews 11:19 (ASV)

Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.

The doctrine of the resurrection is a precious jewel that Faith wears as in a ring on her right hand. "God can raise the dead," says Faith, and that is a most comforting truth. O you bereaved ones, wear that ring! O you who fear to die, wear that priceless jewel! It will be better than any amulet or talisman that the ancients ever wore.
