Woodland Park, Colorado
This rock formation near Woodland Park, Colorado looks much like the aliens in the movie Independence Day, at least the head of one of the aliens, a head that is planted on a duck's foot. Yes, I have been accused of having an overactive imagination.
Today's blog is once again a reminder that we're aliens. This world is not our home.
However, we are not aliens in the house of God
"So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God." Ephesians 2:19 English Standard Version
So, where is our home?
If our home is this world then we are aliens to heaven; we don't understand all that God has intended for those who are members of God's household and we will not participate in this fellowship.
If our home is with Christ then we are aliens in this world. As such, our hearts are turned toward that world that is coming where we will see Jesus Christ face-to-face.
So the questions is not whether we are aliens or not, but where is it that we live as aliens? Are we aliens here on earth or aliens to heaven?
