| “Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.” |
| —Ephesians 2:19-20 |
Do you ever look around and wonder where you belong? I do. In fact, I’ve done this all my life. Whenever I find myself with a group of people in most any conceivable situation, I find myself looking around and thinking, “I’m not at all certain I belong here.”
Of course, my own emotional problems are just that—my problems. The fact is, we who follow Jesus already belong. We belong to God through His Son, Jesus. We belong to our fellow “Christ’s-ones” because we are all part of the family of God. No matter how we may feel at any given moment, the fact remains, we do belong. Yes, we belong.
The Apostle Paul wrote these affirming words, found in Ephesians 2:19-20:
Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.
As another new day begins, we can move confidently into the day knowing that God has chosen us to belong to Himself. Likewise, we belong to each other in and through Christ. We are no longer foreigners and aliens. We are fellow citizens. Praise God!
