Strangers in the World

The Bible calls us exiles. It’s the word Peter uses in 1 peter. Speaking to the church, he says, “To God's elect, strangers in the world.” That word is ‘exile’.

We are strangers living in a strange land. We are made for another home—an eternal home.

Jesus told His friends in John 14,

I am going to prepare a place for you. So do not be afraid.

Right after He said this, He went to the cross, where He laid down His life so that one day we could be welcomed into the home we’re made for.

Because of our sin and failures, we’re cast out of our home. But because of the cross, we can go home.

Will you one day be at home with your Heavenly Father?

Always remember, there is hope with God.
