PILGRIMS;
HEAVEN: LONGING FOR

If we are genuine, committed Christians, intent upon walking by faith with our Lord Jesus Christ, then we are continually confessing that we are pilgrims and that we are strangers!

The Holy Spirit, who is the real author of this Letter to the Hebrews, uses the terms pilgrims and strangers to remind the early Christians that they were not yet at their final home.

The message still reads the same today. Christian pilgrims are journeying by faith from an old city that is cursed and under threat of judgment to a blessed and celestial city where dwells Immanuel!

Hebrews 11:13–16; 1 Peter 2:11–12; Revelation 21:2

Jesus, Author of our Faith, 60.
