"Our homeland is in the skies from which we are waiting for the Savior," Philippians 3:20.
We're waiting for the Lord Jesus, the Christ of God, to come from the skies. That's what we're doing right now. Waiting for him. Our home is otherworldly. This world, these human boundaries - not our home. Our commonwealth rests upward. Our citizenship calls upward. Eyes look up into the skies awaiting Jesus. Metamorphosis: He will transform our dull bodies to share in the glorious brightness of his own body. Yes, we wait for him to come and exercise his astonishing power over all nature. Sky kingdom.
When we pray with a brother or sister today, we lift our eyes up expectantly into the skies. And, together, unshaken by earth's passing troubles, we give thanks joyfully for salvation sure to come.
