Streets of Eternity

Going Home!

Hallelujah, yes Lord!

We are just sojourners here.

We belong here only temporarily.

Placed here by God's hand for a predetermined period of time for His purpose.

We are in search of a better country!

Sojourner

A person who temporarily resides in a place.

Hebrews 11:16

[16] But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

Hebrews 13:14

[14] For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.

Hebrews 11:10

[10] For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God.

John 14:2-6

[2] In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? [3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. [4] And you know the way to where I am going.” [5] Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” [6] Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Hebrews 2:5-18

[5] For it was not to angels that God subjected the world to come, of which we are speaking. [6] It has been testified somewhere, 

    “What is man, that you are mindful of him,

        or the son of man, that you care for him? 

    [7] You made him for a little while lower than the angels;

        you have crowned him with glory and honor, 

    [8]     putting everything in subjection under his feet.”

    Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him.  [9] But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.

[10] For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering. [11] For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one source. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers, [12] saying, 

    “I will tell of your name to my brothers;

        in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.”

    [13] And again, 

    “I will put my trust in him.”

    And again, 

    “Behold, I and the children God has given me.”

    [14] Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, [15] and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. [16] For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham. [17] Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. [18] For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
