ECHOES FROM THE DESERT

Right before entering the Promised Land, Moses assured the Israelites that their rest and inheritance was on the other side of Jordan. And though their situation was different than ours, and we should not try to establish a direct parallel, it is obvious that there are strong echoes of meaning for us today.
For the truth is that we have not arrived at our destination. We are not permanent citizens here. Our home, our place of rest, our inheritance, is still ahead. May we never forget it . . .
(Deuteronomy 12:9)
