Many people today, perhaps you, long for the world of yesterday and hope for a future of yesterday. It’s only natural in unstable times to reflect back and look forward to a better time and a better place.
But Christians are not to live simply or solely by what is natural, for we are supernatural beings, partakers of eternal life. Our reflection is to be a detection of the reality of the impermanent world of today and the certainty of the coming of the world of the future.
Hear the words of sacred scripture. Hebrews 13:14-16 -- For here we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking the city which is to come. Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name
Colossians 3:2—Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.
John 18:36—Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world if My kingdom were of this world then My servants would be fighting, that I might not be delivered up to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.”
Philippians 3:20-21—For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.
Perspective is essential to make an accurate assessment in order to make a wise investment. This world is not my home; I am just passing through, on my way to my home.
“Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace.” (Helen Lemmel 1918) Serving Him with you Until He comes for us. Fred |
