THE JOURNEY HOME

For the Christian, life is the Journey Home.

And Home is where their heart is.

Their heart and mind are set on things Above.

Their Goal in this Life is to get Home.

Yet the only passage to Home is Death,

Or the return of Christ Jesus.

Here on earth they are Strangers and Aliens;

Never belonging.

They do not belong to the kingdom of this World,

Their Kingdom is not of this World,

But the Kingdom of God, which is within them;

The Kingdom where Christ rules and reigns.

They have given up their life in this life

To obtain the Life of Christ.

They live by every Word

That comes from the mouth of God,

He is their Bread of Life.

They are Christ's Witnesses,

Wherever they are;

They Proclaim the Good News of Christ

To whomever will listen.

They worship God in Spirit and in Truth;

This is what they live for.

Because they believe Christ,

They do the works of Christ.

It is Christ in them their Hope of Glory;

Christ living in and through them.

And Home awaits them,

As Christ Jesus has gone ahead of them,

To prepare their Home for them.
