Not our home!,.

Back to Christ's Comfort for Weary Pilgrims!

(David Harsha, Immanuel's Land")

"For this world is not our home; we are 
looking forward to our city in heaven, 
which is yet to come." Hebrews 13:14

We are strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

This present world is not our home.

We are coming up from the wilderness with 
our faces Zionward; we are traveling to the 
celestial city!

Our path is rough; but the Savior sustains us.

Our pilgrimage lies through a wilderness, but 
faith cheers us with a view of the glorious rest 
of the redeemed in our Father's house; in 
mansions of blessedness.

Let this consideration animate us amid the 
conflicts of life. In a little while we shall obtain 
a joyous entrance into the rest above. The 
storms of life's ocean will soon carry us into 
the haven of peace, where there is no trouble.

The language of inspiration is, "Get up, go away! 
For this is not your resting place, because it is 
defiled, it is ruined, beyond all remedy."

Your Savior, pilgrim Christian, has prepared 
for you a nobler rest than this polluted world.

In his Father's house are many spacious mansions, 
where your happy spirit, after tasting the bitter 
cup of life's sorrow, shall rest in eternal blessedness!

"For this world is not our home; we are 
looking forward to our city in heaven, 
which is yet to come." Hebrews 13:14
