Thoughts on Today’s Verse…
No matter what your passport says, if you are a Christian, there is no earthly country that can hold you, no borders that can claim, you and no flag that flies above you but Jesus and the Kingdom of Heaven. You have more in common with the believing aboriginal tribesman of Indonesia, the Christian refugee in Africa, the Bedouin brother in Egypt, the Spirit-filled Brazilian housewife, the high rise business person in Hong Kong who bows to pray in Jesus name, than you do your next door neighbors if they don’t know Christ as Lord and Savior.
My Prayer…
Glorious God and Almighty Father, I look forward to the day when people from every language, tribe, nation, and language join the angels and elders around your throne and worship you in joy forever. Make us one, if not here, then soon. We ask you Lord Jesus, please come. Amen.
Bible References
20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
As children of God, our citizenship is in heaven. That is exciting isn’t it?
1Peter 2:11 tells us that we are indeed strangers and foreigners in this world and should abstain from it’s sinful desires, we are to live godly lives that show to a sin-sick world the example of our precious Savior Jesus Christ.
Do you know Jesus as Your personal Lord and Savior, can you truly say that your citizenship is in heaven? If not I beg of you to do so today.
Ephesians 1:7 says, In Him (Jesus) we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace. And in John 5:24 Jesus says “I tell you the truth, whoever hears My Word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.”
Ephesians 2:8-9 says, For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works so that no one can boast.
Please accept the free gift of salvation that is offered to you by Jesus Christ today, He has already paid the penalty of your sin and awaits your acceptance of His gift, He will not force you to take it, the choice is yours. Choose Jesus and by doing so, choose eternal life, the only other alternative is rejection of Him and eternal death in hell.
Thank You Jesus for dying for my sins, I eagerly await Your coming to rescue me from this earth, and I long for the day when I enter the gates of heaven and can say with all honesty, “I am home!” I love You my Redeemer, and I give You praise this day, Amen!
