20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
Philippians 3:21-21 (NIV)
What does it mean to be a citizen of heaven? How does being a citizen of heaven impact our national citizenship? Does it mean that we shouldn’t participate in national life or care about national interests? If not, at what level of participation should we engage? What should we do when our national citizenship is in conflict with our heavenly citizenship?
Each day (except Sundays) during Lent, we will post a Scripture for reflection on our theme, “Military Withdrawal.” Together, we will learn to walk in God’s ways of peacemaking and reconciliation. These posts are meant to stimulate conversation and interaction. Please post your thoughts and comments.
