We Eagerly Await Our Adoption Day by the LORD!

I wonder what it would be like for a child longing to have his or her adoptive parents come to pick them up from the sad life situation that they were living in. In working with orphan children in Belarus, they long for parents to love them. Sadly, that country does not allow their children to be adopted by people from other countries because of the ugliness of human trafficking. They are hopeless in this hopeless situation. We, as Christians, have been adopted out of this messed up world because the love of our heavenly Father, through the redemptive work of His Son, and now we eagerly await for His Son to come and take us home. My sermon this morning is titled, "We Eagerly Await Our Adoption Day by the LORD!" Yes, as the apostle Paul has written, we have been redeemed, we are being redeemed, and we will experience the full glory of our redemption on the day when Jesus returns for us! He will take us home, our eternal home, with He and His Father!
