This coming Sunday, we hope to look at Hebrews 11:13-16. One of the big arguments of this passage has to do with people, in faith, calling themselves strangers and aliens on earth and, in doing so, “make it clear that they are seeking a homeland.” To be a stranger somewhere means that there is somewhere that is not so strange. To be an alien, means that there is somewhere you are at home.
We are pretty hung up on being home. We love the comforts, conveniences, security and familiarity it provides. So, when we are in a “strange” place that feels like home, we call it our home away from home. Home Sweet Home. What does that mean? Only that there is a place that is home.
How we live in this world and view it says a lot about our faith. Come this Sunday, then, as we explore a life of faith and its future look affects your life in the here and now.
