foreigners in a foreign land

Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of His household.

- Ephesians 2:19

All over the news we are hearing about immigration, legal and illegal.

This is not a new concept, think about the number of times that God’s children traveled to foreign lands.

When Israel fled from Egypt.

When Israel took back the promised land.

When Jesus was traveling, preaching, He was often in foreign land.

After His death and resurrection, the disciples continued to travel and teach of Him.

We are not foreigners and strangers, we are children of God.

This is not “our” land, it belongs to God.

So if this is God’s land, who are we to determine who gets to be here?
