Hebrews 11:10

Hebrews 11:10. For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

What a depth of meaning there is in those five words, "a city which hath foundation," - as if all other cities had none! They come, and they go, as if they were molehills raised on the surface of the earth, or little mounds of sand made by the children’s wooden spades upon the seashore, which the next tide will wash away. What vast numbers of cities have been destroyed already! We are constantly picking up the relics of them, but there is, blessed be the name of the Lord, "a city which hath foundations," a city founded on eternal power, and we are on our way to that city, I hope.
