...But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,
Philippians 3:18-20 NIV
I recall a time we were waiting for a helicopter to medi-vac someone out from where we were living and another person was going to go with them.
He had his bag packed and his passport handy, and was eagerly awaiting his saviour (the chopper) to take him home.
Paul lived in the now.
But his passport was from somewhere else. A different kingdom.
In that was his hope.
But he wasn't looking for a saviour to take him away somewhere better, to whisk him off, but for a saviour to arrive from there who would transform him!
To make things new.
To restore.
To redeem.
He wasn't looking to be taken away to the kingdom, but for the kingdom to arrive...
