Bible passages to read and reflect on this week:

Philippians chapter 3 (The Key Passage is Phil. 3:20-21)

Do you ever feel like you don't belong here? That's Because you don't! As Christ followers, we are aliens in this world. We're just passing through. Our real home is heaven. So if you feel out of place in the culture in which you are stuck, get used to it. Though we are in the world, we are not of it. We are bound for a greater place, and we will dwell there with new bodies that are like that of our Savior. While we do not know all there is to know of Heaven, we know that our new bodies will be better than our current ones. We know there will be no tears or death there. We know we will reign forever with our God. When we don't fit in, it's okay. We are not meant to. Embrace it as homesickness. You are longing for paradise. One day you will feel right at home because you will be with your God in heaven.

What does it mean that your citizenship is in heaven?

What will our bodies be like one day after the return of Jesus?
