This World is Not Our Home

             Paul enlightens: "For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ" (Phil. 3:20 KJV). 

             There is nothing upon the face of this earth that can truly satisfy our deepest needs: joy, hope, and love. Money can't do it, power can't do it, fame cannot do it; these things can bring about temporary happiness, but happiness is only for a season. The only thing that can truly bring us joy, hope, and love is found in a person: a person named Jesus. God in the flesh. Never has anyone brought more joy, hope, and love into this world that Jesus. The real astounding thing is that He wasn't from this world; He was from above: with the Father before the very foundation of the world (John 17:5). 

               I love how the brilliant mind of C. S. Lewis puts it: "If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world."
