Strangers and Sojourners

Tomorrow, Dr. Mike Scherschligt and Cari Hillyer, two of the founders for this Movement, will be leading a pilgrimage in the Holy Land. This is the first pilgrimage that School of Faith has led since before Covid. We are excited to be offering these again, as a pilgrimage is a miniature of our own life’s journey towards perfect union with the Father. In 1 Chronicles 29 we read “For we are strangers before you, and sojourners as were all our fathers. Our days on earth are as shadows, and there is no abiding” (vv 15-16). This is true of all of our Lord’s followers, we are strangers and sojourners on this earth, as it is not our true homeland. St. Paul says, “Our commonwealth is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will change our lowly body to be like His glorious body, the power which enable him to subject all things to himself” (Phil 3: 20-21). As pilgrims on earth, let us not seek too much comfort or security in this land, but await the reunion with our Lord ready, docile, detached and prepared for transforming glory!
