June 28 Not Home

The speaker discusses the importance of praying for God's will to be done on earth, as taught by Jesus. They emphasize that everyone has a designated time to enter eternity because this world is not our permanent home. The speaker shares a story about a church member who expressed envy at a funeral, believing that those who are born again have a better future. They highlight the idea that when we leave this world, our address changes. The speaker concludes by urging listeners to have a personal relationship with God and emphasizing His desire for all to come to repentance. As we celebrate the great faith of the Soterian in Matthew 8, we must realize when Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He said we should pray for His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. With that, we understand that each one of us has a day appointed when we will enter our eternity, because this world is not our home. I once had a church member by the name of JP. One day we were at a funeral of a friend. As we approached the casket, JP said, I envy him. He said that because he knew the best is yet to come for those who are born again. You see, when we leave this world, we change our address. Philippians 121 says, for me to live is Christ and to die is gain. With that in mind, I hope you have a personal relationship with Him knowing the Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3.9 This world is not my home. I'm just a passing through. This is Pastor Tim Hall of redletterwordsofjesus.com
