“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
Home10/23/2017 Where is your home?
This is a question that has perhaps more than one possible answer. If we are fortunate, in life we begin with a home with the family which we grow up with. Though the place in which you lived may have changed more than once, yet each new place became your home. Then perhaps you are at or have passed the stage when you move out of your parents house and into a place of your own. This place then becomes your home, yet the previous place where you dwelt still may for a while also feel like home to you. Throughout our lives we may know a good many places that we accept as and welcome as our home. As Christians we know that the obvious answer to the question is that our home is with God in heaven. We look to this, we long for this and we know that someday we will have this home. Yet, though we look ahead for this, what of now? We still have a home here and we should have more than one of them. We have a home where we live and we also should have a home where we have and know true life, our home with God starts before we get there. This is due to us belonging to him and through this being made alive by his Holy Spirit who dwells within us. Also though we should have another home, this is a home where we should always know support and comfort. This of course is the Church to which we belong, this should and needs to be a home for us. We need to be able to see and know this as a home and therefore where we belong. So let us enjoy our many homes that we have in life, both actual and symbolic, let us also know that our home is in and with God always.
