"For it means when someone is taken out of this world as a believer in Jesus Christ and becomes a follower of him, he is forever a stranger and a sojourner on this earth. ...

He said, “I can never feel at home in your home.  Paul was referring to this when, in 2 Corinthians chapter 5 and verse 8 he said, ‘To be absent from the body is to be at home with the Lord.’”  And then looking out over the vast audience in the silence of the moment he said, “Since I’ve become a Christian, this world is not my home.”  That’s beautiful, but that is the exact fact.

Since we have become believers, this world is not our home.  The foxes have holes.  The birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man hath not where to lay his head.  And the disciple of Jesus Christ, who intends to truly follow him wherever he goes, can never be at home in this world.  The world is not my home.  We are passing through, on the way, to our true home, for our citizenship is in heaven."  - Dr. S. L. Johnson, reading from Precept Austin.

Not everyone will understand, and not everyone will love me.

At least the one that counts does.
