 Longing For Our Savior

Longing For Our Savior

For our CITIZENSHIP is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the SAVIOR, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.(my emphasis) (Philippians 3:20-21)

We are out of place,We don't belong.We are citizens of another world.That should explain why we are so dissatisfied with the governments of this world and the actions they take.Most of the time they are directly against everything we believe and we feel so helpless in explaining that to a world that is bent on destroying itself.We'll never be satisfied with what this world does and we'll never feel perfect security and hope in what it provides.We shouldn't even be expecting an environment here that would satisfy this new person we have become in Christ.
Once we're saved and are children of God,a hunger and a desire was placed in us that this world just can't satisfy.We are stuck in a lowly body with a new creation within it,that is longing for it's unveiling.That is why we are looking for the SAVIOR to come,to redeem this body,so this new creation can be revealed.

"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God."(Romans 8:18-19)

"Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body."(Romans 8:23)

We eagerly wait to see our SAVIOR.We need to see Him in that office first.I believe that is what this hunger and desire in us truly wants.These saved ones longing to see their SAVIOR.

"If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.(Colossians 3:1-4)

Oh what could ever surpass that first glimpse of His face?

Come LORD JESUS,PERHAPS TODAY
