Every Saturday the big car park in front of the Warehouse here in Kaitaia in the north of New Zealand turns into a busy marketplace and people come from all over the place to sell their merchandise.

According to Acts 1:8 where it says, “…; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem (Kaitaia), and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth,” I witnessed to somebody in the course of our conversation.

I have seen him since and last time I saw him he called me pilgrim. And I feel like a pilgrim! (Did I not tell that somebody else lately?) I told him so much. I said also, “I actually like to be called pilgrim. I am in fact a pilgrim. I said also to him, “You know quite a bit about what the Bible says. We must talk some more!”

I looked up the word ‘pilgrim’ in the concordance and here are some Bibleverses:

Genesis 47:9

In this verse you find the word pilgrimage twice.

Psalm 119:54

Read this verse in The Amplified Bible and you find the word pilgrimage.

Exodus 6:4

Aliens= pilgrims. I like aliens even better. But are we living as aliens? Or are we considering this our homeland?

Hebrews 11:13

aliens=pilgrims. It says here also that we are strangers! Are you feeling like a stranger on earth?

First Peter 2:11

aliens again=pilgrims. And strangers!

According to the dictionary a pilgrim is “a person who undertakes a journey to a sacred place.”
