What’s in a name?

The title of the blog is Sojourner’s Journal because Christians are sojourners. We are not wanderers but sojourners, with the difference being wanderers go from place to place not knowing the final destination, but sojourners travel with a specific home in mind. We belong and have a home in the City of God. Israel sojourned in the wilderness, knowing that God would lead them to a land that He promised. It may be easy to forget that the world, as it is, is not our home, but believers are truly just traveling through in our tents. No matter where we live, how much we have, we are tent-dwellers like the man of faith Abraham. He, too, was looking forward to the City of God. Jesus Himself had no place to rest His head in the world. It is amazing that one day, the world will be transformed to a place of perfect righteousness, wholeness, beauty, truth, life, and rest. That will be our home. Strangely enough, the first post begins looking forward to the fullest realization, culmination, and end.
