Abraham was a sojourner in the land that his descendants, generations later, would conquer and inhabit. And in that sense, Christians are sojourners in this earth, waiting for the Lord to deliver them from the land where they don't belong.

00:00:00.000 In less than a year, our podcast has gone from an average of 10,000 downloads a month
00:00:04.300 to 50,000 downloads. What made the difference? You leaving us a five-star review. The more
00:00:10.260 positive reviews, the more the algorithm picks us up, and more people are confronted by the law
00:00:16.360 and gospel of Jesus Christ. Help us press forward the crown rights of King Jesus by leaving us a
00:00:23.480 five-star review on your favorite podcast platform. Thanks. Abraham was sojourning.
00:00:30.180 And I love that that word is used, and it is the word that is used. Abraham is sojourning
00:00:35.640 in the land of Canaan. He leaves the land of his father to go to the land that the Lord will show
00:00:41.460 him, and he's in the land of Canaan, the very land that his descendants, generations later,
00:00:47.860 will in fact conquer and inhabit. And the Bible says he's sojourning in that land,
00:00:54.920 which means there are at least in biblical terms and biblical definitions, two types,
00:01:00.720 at least two types of sojourners. There is a sojourner who is in exile in a land that they
00:01:06.560 are not meant to be in, eventually waiting for the Lord to deliver them and take them out.
00:01:12.920 And there are sojourners like Abraham who are not in exile in a land where they don't belong.
00:01:17.860 but in the land that they're currently sojourning in as a stranger, as an alien, a foreigner with
00:01:25.760 people that they do not know, but they're sojourners in that land, not in exile waiting
00:01:30.940 to be beamed up out of the land, but they're sojourning in that land waiting to take the land.
00:01:38.280 And in that sense, New Testament Christians are sojourners in this earth. Matthew chapter 5,
00:01:44.900 the meek will inherit the 17th dimension because the world doesn't matter. Wait, I got it wrong. 0.89
00:01:50.660 Let me think. Oh, the meek will inherit the earth. That's right. Jesus is king, not just in an 1.00
00:02:00.180 ethereal dimension, not just a spiritual king. He is king of kings. Have you ever stopped and
00:02:07.100 wondered, what are these lowercase k kings that Jesus is king over? They are earthly kings.
00:02:14.460 What are these lowercase l lords that Jesus is lord over?
00:02:18.760 They are earthly lords.
00:02:22.160 And so Abraham is a sojourner in a land that he is meant not to be removed or delivered from,
00:02:27.760 but his future descendants will indeed conquer.
00:02:43.520 We'll be right back.
