Later today I will throw my things into the trunk of my car and hit the road for home. Even though this has been a good experience here at the ICPC annual training seminar - it will be great to be heading home!
All of us who claim to be followers of Jesus, who are trusting him and him alone for our salvation are also on the road home. You see we are merely aliens here on this earth. Our true home is heaven. Peter reminds us of this when he refers to us as "strangers in the world" (translations other than the NIV translate the Greek word for strangers as "aliens"). Oh how easy it is to lose sight of that. We all must WORK at reminding ourselves that we are on a journey - we are on the road home. Doing so will help us to avoid becoming so earthly minded that we are of no heavenly good!
Thanks for listening,
pj
