“The Yellow TM Auckland Home Show will be the hottest show in town when it returns to Auckland on September 10 -14 at the ASB show grounds, Greenlane and you can be sure its heart will be in the right place.” That’s the beginning of an article with the title “HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS.”

Where is our heart?

Is our heart wrapped up in earthly things? In Philippians 3:18,19 the apostle Paul says about the enemies of the cross that: 1. their mind is on earthly things; 2. their glory is in their shame; 3. their god is their stomach; 4. their destiny is destruction.

Or is our heart set on heavenly things?

Straight away the verse in the Bible with the word ‘citizenship’ comes to my mind. For a long time I am searching for the word in the concordance. I cannot find it and I tell my wife. She finds the verse without concordance– in the Bible of course!

The address is Philippians 3:20. ( Other “Heavenly Citizenship” verses: Luke 10:20; Luke 22:30; John 14:2; First Peter 1:4 ) We read in Philippians 3:20, ” But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,….”

Can we say with all our heart with the apostle Paul, “Our citizenship is in heaven? We eagerly await a Savior from heaven?”

Where do we feel at home? On Earth or in Heaven?

THINK ABOUT IT!
