For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: — Philippians 3:20

Regardless of what your passport says, if you are a Christian, there is no earthly nation that can contain you, no boundary that can claim you, and no flag that can fly over you except that of Jesus and the Kingdom of Heaven. Compared to your next-door neighbors who do not know Christ as Lord and Savior, you have more in common with the Christian refugee in Africa, the Bedouin brother in Egypt, the Spirit-filled Brazilian housewife, and the high-rise business person in Hong Kong who bows to pray in Jesus’ name.

Prayer

I can’t wait for the day, Glorious God and Almighty Father, when people from every tribe, nation, and language join the angels and elders around your throne and worship you with joy for all time. If not now, soon, make us one. Lord Jesus, we ask you to come. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
