A continuing city

 

Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate. Therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing His reproach. For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come. – Hebrews 13.12-14

                                 

It’s been quite a year. Things are nothing like they were on December 3 a year ago. Massive changes have taken place and will continue to take place. It just never seems to end. I think we would all love some peace and quiet and a time where things don’t always seem like they are coming to an end.

 

Now everything is in a state of flux – but we are seeking that continuing city.

 

What a wonderful day it will be when things are no longer unstable and temporary. Who knows what tomorrow may bring? Opposition and persecution are part of this temporary setting – it could happen any time.

But in our continuing city we will be with God for all eternity. The temporary visible things of this world and we will live in a city that will last forever with no more shocks or bad news or rotten phone calls!

 

What a day THAT will be!
