Homecoming
"For this
world is not our home; we are looking forward to our city in
heaven, which is yet to come." Hebrews 13:14 (NLT)
To our ninth grade granddaughter, Faith, homecoming was an
exciting time. Her long, beautiful, red hair mingled well
with the green and gold colors of her cheerleading uniform.
Excitement exuded from the school student body at their
afternoon pep rally. That night after the Homecoming Court
was presented, the basketball players put forth extreme
effort to claim victory for their basketball team.
I thanked God for allowing me to share this delightful time
with our young granddaughter.
Another Homecoming is on the agenda for those who know Jesus
as their Savior and Lord. Never become too attached to your
earthly possessions because everything in this world is
temporary.
Our new Homecoming will be called the Holy City – the new
Jerusalem. It will be a place where God removes all our
sorrows. No crying, no pain and no more death describes it
appropriately.
Homecoming was a happy time in Faith’s physical journey. It
compares not with the Homecoming in the sky when all things
are made new. God himself will be there among His people.
Are you ready for that big event?
