"Sword of the Covenant"
Mark Andrews

All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth. Hebrews 11:13
Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that this world is not our home, especially as we cope with the effects of floods, snowstorms, hear about bloodshed in various parts of the world and feel the despair of hurting people.
Other versions describe these people as "pilgrims." A pilgrim is someone on a spiritual journey to a holy place. As Christians we are on a spiritual journey with heaven as our destination. Abraham, when he eventually reached the promised land, lived in a tent and didn't settle permanently because he was looking "forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God" (Hebrews 11:10). By his example he shows us what our attitude to this world should be. In the same chapter of Hebrews we are also told that Moses was "looking ahead to his reward" (v.26). Moses chose to identify with God's people who were being mistreated when he could have inherited the treasures of Egypt. But Moses knew earthly wealth is fleeting.
Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, all knew they were strangers and pilgrims who were passing through this world. They had in mind the "big picture" of God's long term purposes and didn't become entangled with the affairs of this life (2 Timothy 2:4). Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God (Hebrews 11:16). May the same be said of us.

| | | FaithWriters are Fulfilling The Great Commission Together!
As we help you become the writer God has called you to be, you help us spread the gospel in over 230 countries online. Here is a quote from a reader who accepted Jesus on FaithWriters. His life will never be the same because one writer “put pen to paper” and shared it.
‘I literally was transformed and totally healed in an instant upon trusting in Jesus as my lord and savior. The love, joy, light, and peace I feel is way more than words or thoughts can express. This new life of being a true Christian, who is saved, Spirit-filled, born-again, fully and truly converted by the living holy gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, is going to carry my being further than anyone could ever imagine. It will be the most blessed, rewarding, and holy life in the Lord, which I have embarked upon now.’” Roger P. |
