Citizens of Heaven

Where is home? The Apostle Paul would argue that our homeland is in heaven. In a manner of speaking, we live here, on earth, as resident aliens. When we were baptized, we were made citizens of the kingdom of heaven. A kingdom that is everywhere and nowhere. It is everywhere because its people are dispersed throughout all the kingdoms of this world. It is nowhere because its values are not consistent with the values of the culture that surrounds it.
