About
a time of belonging…
Philippians
3:20 But our citizenship is in
heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under
his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his
glorious body. (NIV)
We
do not belong here on earth. We do not belong in a world caught up in sin and
rebellion against God. When we become children of God our home is in Heaven. If
you have accepted Christ and you feel out of place here on Earth, now you know
why. However, there is a new day about to dawn. It makes no difference if you
see this new day watching down from Heaven or looking up from Earth, for the
greatness of this new day overwhelms all other concerns. As we wait for this new
day about to dawn we stand in joy. We stand waiting in eager anticipation for
this new day. No matter where we are when the new day dawns, we will all be
there one way or another. This new day is the day Jesus returns. We may be
standing in the joy of Heaven. We may be grounded upon the earth with soaring
hearts and sailing spirits at the first sight of Him. When Jesus comes back, all
things will be under His control and at that moment our old bodies will be gone.
When Jesus comes back we will get a new and glories body that will never ache,
fade, get sick, or die. Praise God. Praise God. Praise God. A new day is about
to dawn.
