That’s plain enough, isn’t it?
You’re no longer wandering exiles.
This kingdom of faith is now your home country.
You’re no longer strangers or outsiders.
You belong here, with as much right
to the name Christian as anyone.
God is building a home.
He’s using us all -
irrespective of how we got here - in what he is
building.
He used the apostles and prophets
for the foundation. Now he’s using you,
fitting you in brick by brick,
stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the
cornerstone that holds all the parts together.
We see it taking shape day after day -
a holy temple built by God, all of us built into it,
a temple in which God is quite at home.
