Not our home

"For this world is not our home;
we are looking forward to our city
in Heaven, which is yet to come!"
Hebrews 13:14
We are strangers and pilgrims on
the earth. This present world is not
our home. We are coming up from
the wilderness with our faces Zionward;
we are traveling to the Celestial City!
Our path is rough, but
the SAVIOR sustains us.
Our pilgrimage lies through a
wilderness, but faith cheers us
with a view of the glorious rest
of the redeemed in our FATHER'S
house, in mansions of blessedness!
Let this consideration animate us
amid the conflicts of life. In a little
while we shall obtain a joyous
entrance into the glorious rest above.
The storms of life's ocean will soon
carry us into the haven of peace,
where there is no trouble.
The language of Scripture is,
"Get up, go away! For this is not
your resting place, because it is
defiled, it is ruined beyond all
remedy!" Micah 2:10
Your SAVIOR, pilgrim Christian,
has prepared for you a nobler
rest than this polluted world!
In our FATHER'S house are many
spacious mansions, where your
happy spirit, after tasting the bitter
cup of life's sorrow, shall rest in
eternal blessedness!
"For this world is not our home;
we are looking forward to our city
in Heaven, which is yet to come!"
Hebrews 13:14
"We would rather be absent
from the body, and at home with
the LORD!" 2 Corinthians 5:8
